I went through the Vancouver Public Library's "Police Brutality" files a while back (I think they have been discontinued by now - budget cuts) and picked out a few quotes ... and rather than have this stuff go to waste in some corner of my archives I thought I would share it with all of you! full story

I was 12 years old and this was my first time smoking pot. I did it to rebel against my dad who had been cheating on my mom. After that, I questioned everything. I thought about how much information was being kept from me. I wondered how many other people lied to me. So here I am, five years later, still uncovering truth and confronting cowards. Thanks, dad, I love you.
