I started walking
down Pearl Street, but when I got to
the corner of Pearl Street, the civil disobedience-ing
women were coming towards me. They was gonna
take my daughter. They was gonna take
my baby from me. They put me in the paddy wagon. My skin was burning,
them clothes was so hot that they was
sticking to my skin,
and I remember trying to keep them off of my skin
because it was burning. I assume that you're
distinguishing between the word "smoke"
and the word "tear gas," -is that correct? That's correct.
I conferred with Dr. Polk about the effect of gas
on the lungs of a child because we knew that they had some very small
children in there, and their recommendation was that we not use it.
