I just wish I knew his name!
While the fascists exploited a momentary advantage to vent their rage over our country's rejection of their ignorance,gullibility and racism to ransack our very institutions, the bare bones of our democracy.
What they could not gain at the ballot box they failed to gain by force.
Thousands piled up outside the doors calling out for the Speaker of the peoples house to be murdered, The Vice president to be lynched. But a vanguard gained entry to the very chambers of congress and YOUR elected representatives were forced to hide in very real fear of their representative lives.They represent you and me and our will to freedom. About to be pulled apart by a mob.
Then I saw a black cop, faced as far to many black men before him were with a raging mob gaining numbers with every step of his retreat. He was tasked with protecting our congress.
He was unarmed. while retreating just ahead of his pursuers he garbed up a collapse-able night stick someone had dropped on the step. He reaches to top of the stairs, he pauses and looks down a hall then looks down the steps at his pursuers.
He allows them to gain on him always baking up.,
That's what I saw.
What I later understood was this was not a man simply evading a mob and trying not to get killed. This is the guy who just may have saved democracy and avoided a civil war.
You see when he looked down that hall he knew what was there. It led pass congressional offices and on the to floor of the house where the votes of the people were being recognized.
Staying at times almost within the mobs uncertain reach he led them away like a mother killdeer leads predators from her chicks, faking a broken wing.. He led them to where he knew he would find back up.
How great the temptation must have been to just turn and run. Many did just that.
Or to shout hail Trumpshit and join them, even aid them, at lest some did just that.
But in that moment on that day by offering himself as bait he just may saved democracy in our nation.
How fitting that a single black man with a nightstick should frustrate the will of the entire Aryan Nation. No one can know what awaits a man when he firsts resolves himself to do his duty.
but by doing so he can become glorious!
in that moment, on that day, America found the hero she needed to save the day.
"I pity the country that has no heroes.
I pity to the country that needs them.
