    Psalms 137:1-4 (KJV) By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
    We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
    For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
    How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?

    Those cops don't seem that bad at all. Today's cops and the old cops of the other generations were the bad ones, they heard them sing and let them go, they didn't beat them, didn't shoot them, didn't lynch them, they listened to some black music and let them go, it wasn't right, but way worse on the news, I wish this is all the cops wanted today.
