Similar incident up here (fairly recently) too. Cops going apeshit on a bus, killing a young man. Time was the issue. I remember a letter to the editor about an incident a couple decades ago, in which the police took all day to disarm a young man. Time. Getting to a point of understanding and peace. I say to my students, "these poems aren't text messages, so slow the fuck down." Well, not exactly like that... but that's the gist.
