teaser: All your life you see police — walking a beat, directing traffic, passing by in a patrol car — and they have nothing to do with you. Once in a while you ask a cop for street direction, or you get a parking ticket; but you rarely give thought to the real business and purpose of the uniformed men with guns at their sides. But now what had happened that afternoon gave me a glimpse, clear and sharp, of the terrifying actuality of what it means to be arrested for something real and terribly serious, as you wish with all your soul that it could somehow be undone, knowing that it can't. Lying there, I knew, as never before, that the moment of arrest — your freedom gone — is a terrible thing.
This, then, is the story of a crime.
