For Radazz Hearn, age 14. Shot seven times on Friday, August 7, 2015, by New Jersey state troopers and Mercer County Sheriff's officer for running away. In stable condition in hospital.
we just want to say
You went off at a run
in your sweatpants
red as blood
and reached for a ?
our instinct said gun
we shot seven times
to protect the neighbourhood
from thugs like you
Forgive us
for not liking you black and red fashion
it clashes with white folks'
sense of decorum
