I don't know if "unprepared" is the word to describe what I was tonight. I got maybe half an hour before showing up to the town meeting. I guess there were too many thoughts that popped into my head while everyone else was speaking. I wanted to mention something about posting a "non-emergency" contact number on every block, and coming up with an online poll on city issues that everyone could vote on and it would be passed on to city officials. Technology is beneficial. I spoke rapidly, just not rapidly enough. Racialism seems like a big issue, as well as other forms of ignorance, from all sides. Coming up with non-lethal defense maneuvers would also be a good thing. I also wanted to help alleviate the finger-pointing by acknowledging (?) that cops aren't super-human. Too many things, too little time. Let's hope it's not wasted.
