However as one cop pointed out to me when I was riding round with him making a TV programme (I paraphrase) "When we decide to arrest someone, we have to follow through. If they want to fight, we have to fight. They get upset because they think it's going to be a fair fight and it isn't. We are going to throw people at the situation until we win. And believe me, we will win. We *will* prevail." As we all know cops sometimes go (way) over the top. However, anyone who runs from or decides to fight with the police is putting themselves in a very bad place, and I'm afraid that is as it should be. We adopted 'We will prevail' as our band's slogan after that, and it became the title of our second album. On Dec 11, 2003, at 4:02 PM, B. D.
