70 seconds

I have been working on a song about the Keith Vidal story for some time, recording it felt pretty good. If you don't know the story here is a brief rundown of events, Keith suffered from mental illness, his family called 911 during an episode, 2 cops from different departments came to the scene and restrained him using a tazer gun, a third cop came from yet another department, when he arrived Keith was being held down on the ground, Keith's parents heard the cop say, "we don't have time for this," and fired killing Keith. The cop a Bryon Vassey is at the time of writing this has been indicted by a grand jury on one count of voluntary manslaughter. Not enough. Writing a song is not enough either.
