There never was a good war or a bad peace. ~Ben Franklin
The Die-In. Non-violent Communication at its best. The police didn't let them block the street for long. Didn't lay a hand on them, either. Actually helped one elderly man laying down in protest, Harry Allison, Ph.D., part of the "Tulsa Ten," to get back on his feet, and then supported him as he climbed into the paddywagon. For shame, these policemen, stopping a peaceful protest. Aren't they "peace officers"?
