In Florida for Thanksgiving, I was surfing the channel guide for CNN, hoping to find out whether a decision had been reached in the Michael Brown case (the case of a police officer who shot an unarmed teenager Michael Brown on Aug. 9, 2014). I said, looking at the television screen, “I hope they 41 him.”
My mother’s tone pierced (刺破) the 42 . “Why, why would you hope for that?” I exhaled (吐气), knowing I was about to have 43 uncomfortable
conversation with my mother, the retired 44 .
“He was unarmed, ma,” I said to her. “ 45 he was a kid.”
To her, even if only for a moment, I was just another asshole (混蛋) on the street.
I 46 it in her face, and it was terrible. She said 47 , “You don’t know the whole story, you haven’t seen the evidence. Whether you like it or not, cops are innocent 48 proven guilty too.” I stayed 49 as she continued. “And he wasn’t a kid, he was 50 . What if that was me facing Michael Brown? I wouldn’t have 51 a chance.”
My5′8〞mother couldn’t have 52 a 6′4〞man without a weapon. I
would want her to pull out her gun and fire until she came home to me because that’s my mom and it’s my job to get crazy when I think of her in 53 . Just like when I 54 the man who slapped her in face and knocked her to the ground, bile (胆汁)
rises in my throat.
This is my lived experience. I 55 in a household where my mother and stepfather wore guns and 56 . They always came home with 57 ; some we could hear, and some 58 in the kitchen. We gathered together at nigh t with my two younger sisters to watch TV as a family: “Rescue 911,” “America’s Most Wanted,” “Law & Order,” all the 90s cops shows. We watched “Picket Fences” until the one 59
where the cop killer got off, and my mother and I had our first uncomfortable conversation when I said he might be 60 . After that, we had to boycott(联合 *)the show.
