The images 

Searing, hopeful, alarming, indelible 

Many from yesterday’s protest in Houston 

One inescapable 

A young man repeatedly shouting “Pig” at a police officer 

Spewing profanities inches from her protective face shield 

This is wrong, too.

These are my friends. They rescue the trafficked, trapped and used, in our city. They keep me safe in my pew. They are hardworking parents. They love their city. 

This is wrong.
