Not so long ago, she was among us

About Me
- janinsanfran
- I'm a progressive political activist who runs trails and climbs mountains whenever any are available. I've had the privilege to work for justice in Central America (Nicaragua and El Salvador), in South Africa, in the fields of California with the United Farmworkers Union, and in the cities and schools of my own country. I'm a Christian of the Episcopalian flavor; we think and argue a lot. For work, I've done a bit of it all: run an old fashioned switch-board; remodeled buildings and poured concrete; edited and published periodicals, reports and books; and organized for electoral campaigns. I am currently an independent consultant to organizations seeking "help when you have to make a fight."

This is one of those stories that has continued to haunt me. Why is the arresting police officer not out of a job and maybe even charged with misuse of power? How can they arrest a woman for such a small thing and keep her there for days? Even if she hung herself, it sounds like she was driven to it. How much can any of us endure before we break? This morning, I woke up feeling bad about what happened to her and seeing how it could happen to any of us-- except currently less likely to if we are lily white... It is very depressing.
