Me and my son are in a parking lot standing beside my Range Rover. Apolice car pulls up. The cop inside says to my son ‘You look supicious. Get in the car.’
‘Don’t argue with them ‘ I tell him. ‘I’m right behind you. ‘
They enter the traffic as I get behind the wheel start the car and follow them.
As I drive along I see a battered body in the road. My heart lurches in my chest.
‘God forbid. It is not him.’
I avoid the body and drive past. It is him!
I wake up just as I am about to start wailing.
I had a dream. It has become a nightmare.
It doesn’t matter if we tell our son’s not to resist unless #BlackLivesMatter
