police, stop murdering the public NOW

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on the human face forever."
~  George Orwell






     On one of the George Floyd stories, I wrote down some Reader Comments:


||    silas        The police said they were following orders?  sounds familiar...


||    MNA Bhuiyan        I'm from a third world country and I can't believe it's happening in America now


||    Josh        All politicians and police agencies need current verified / mandated IQ examinations.  PERIOD

Today's song to play is "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks.

The best sounding video I found on You Tube is titled
Edge of Seventeen (2016 Remaster)
Uploader:  Stevie Nicks

On a black background, Stevie Nicks stands, wearing a graceful blue gown, and a white-winged dove perched on her hand.

(On my android tablet, you have to scroll down a little bit to get to this one, but it is worth it because it's the best sound, I think.)




Play!


Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo-whoo-whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo


And the days go by
Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby (everything stops)
Nothin' else mattered
He was no more
(He was no more)
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin' within him
But the moment --
That I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen


Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Said, whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo




Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again
Tomorrow, yeah, yeah
Well, the music there
Well it was hauntingly familiar
When I see you doin'
What I try to do for me
With their words of a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody
Nothin' else mattered


Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Said, whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo


The clouds never expect it 
When it rains
But the sea changes colors
But the sea
Does not change
So -- with the slow -- graceful flow
Of age
I went forth, with an age old
Desire to please,
On the -- edge of -- seven - teen


Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Said, whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo



Well then suddenly
There was no one left standing 
In the hall, yeah, yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
When I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
Not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird -- singin'
(Come away)
(Come away)
(Come away)


Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo


Well, I hear you (well, I hear you)
In the morning (in the morning)
And I hear you (and I hear you)
At nightfall (at nightfall)
Sometimes -- to be near you
Is to be -- unable -- to hear you
My love
I'm a few years older than you -- my love,
(I'm a few years older than you)


Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo
Said, whoo
