Chapter 24

How do you spin this one?

~The Truth Will Have To Do...~

~The Truth Will Have To Do...~ You think and prepare to give the honest answers.

"Do you know why I decided to go into police work?" You ask.

"Is this relevant?" Mr Gallows Queries.

"I swear it is." You state and he bites the hook at last.

"Why then?" He responds and you launch into the most honest thing you are probably going to say the whole interview.

"Because I don't trust the government as far as I can throw it."

There is a pause, then Terry looks at the teleprompter and back at you. "Explain that if you would, how does not trusting the government work out to becoming part of it?"

"A very specific part of it." You begin. "Growing up I lived in a lower income neighborhood, and I saw first hand the abuses of power that are rife in our government: which is what made me want to become a cop. The police **** is the part of the government who's job it is to be the wolf at the door of the rich and powerful, the dagger in the dark which prevents the need for another civil war or similar national disaster: if the police **** of Richmond Virginia had upheld their oaths they would have arrested Jefferson Davis and the rest of the confederate leadership for sedition, inciting a riot, and a host of other charges and the whole ugly business would have ended in a little less than 2 months with minimal loss of life. I decided to become a Cop BECAUSE I don't trust the government: and feel that makes it my civic duty to protect the people from it. The ONE part of the 'Anonymous Movement's agenda that I agree with is this, a part they stole from the same movie they got their Iconography from: 'People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people.' but taking the law into your own hands is not the way to do that, you don't hurt the government that way you just hurt the people who cant get out of the way of the resulting crackdown. The only way to really SCARE corrupt politicians and government agents is to come at them from INSIDE the law, because that they cannot dismiss, cannot brush aside: even the ACCUSATION of corruption from the dully appointed guardians of the law can RUIN them. In ancient Egypt they trained panthers to guard temples because they could smell fear on people who were not supposed to be there, and it is no accident that our courthouses are shaped like Greek and Roman temples, because no matter what gods we worship, be it Allah, Zeus, Gaia, Odin, Freya, Bast, Osiris, or Yahweh, for the people of the United States of America THE LAW is above them all, and as I have become a human panther that will be the sanctified space I guard."

How does Terry react to this impromptu speech?
