A Lesson in Race

I'm covering Grumpy. 
He's asking the questions
The Mope keeps talking to me.
I'm silent. I don't speak.

Grumpy growls,

"This is my call.
This is my district.
You speak to me,
not to the white officer."

He jabs a finger at me.

"You speak to the black officer.
You speak to me.
Do you understand?"

The Mope pales,
looks up at Grumpy.

"Yes, sir!"

Grumpy stares into him.

"Am I clear?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good."

I would like to see this police issue studied more--but it would require courageous researchers and I am afraid they are in short supply.

never....never try to side step the primary officer, regardless of race
