COURAGE: Grace Under Pressure – Darnella Frazier (4-24-21)

 
 Police Report*
 He appeared to be in medical distress
 We followed the routine process
 We called 911
 He died later on
 No officer injured, a success
  
 What Really Happened
 A murder being witnessed by a teen
 She knew she could not intervene
 “This isn’t right!”
 “I must shine the light!”
 With poise she recorded the scene
  
 Darnella bore witness to the crime
 So, justice could be served this time
 But in filming this drama
 She suffered a trauma
 And will have a long hill to climb
