...strength of the production were the monologues: a Latino man dealing with the horror of two generations of police brutality. A seargent explaining the brutality as the police's reaction to government dictums; a do-gooder bent on creating communication between the communites; and a man who would enter other communities as invader.

Reed had never liked his do-gooder schoolmate Jones. "I wanted to hurt that dude the first time I seen him," Reed recalls. "It's just something about people I have when I first see them.
