This is not the piece I set out to pen.  That one shelved.  Sidelined in light of present reality. 8 minutes, 46 seconds.  A knee crushing the neck of a handcuffed black man.  Pressed to the ground, restrained by multiple officers.  Between life and death?  An eternity. 2 minutes and 53 seconds.  That same knee still pressed against the neck of a black man who had grown unresponsive.  Found to have no pulse.  Limp.  Between life and death?  An eternity.
