Topic: Police Brutality
On a bright day in 1990 my family got the news our oldest brother was dead.He was a victim of police brutality he lived his life on the streets of gastonia sleeping anywhere he could find he was a lost soul in this big world but he worked just living in the same place all the time was something he couldn't do and thats when some gastonia cops poured cooking oil on him as he slept under a bridge on a cold night in October the ones put out there to protect us are now abusing our brothers,fathers,mothers,sisters our Vietnam vets and our children my mother lost her eldest son and we missed out on ever knowing him as the man he was becoming our lives forever changed they say he committed suicide but we never believed that he was going to win a settlement of a large sum of money he wasn't the kind of person to kill himself
