Short fic: One the road. (PG, Ten II/Rose, for mylittlepwny.)

On the road. Very short fic. Ten II and Rose on a road trip; PG-ish, for kisses. The fic madness continues- this one was written for mylittlepwny, who has joined the party with some beautiful ideas.

Something is so very wrong.

I spent this morning on Feministe and this news story has horrified me to the core. You may have already heard it, but for those of you who haven't I'm sharing it here.

On New Year's Day, a group of young men were pulled off of a BART train in San Francisco, reportedly for fighting or rowdy behavior. It is not yet entirely clear from various sources whether or not Oscar Grant was one of those men, or whether he was intervening with police on behalf of friends. The Grant family's attorney alleges that racial slurs were used by the officers while the group was being restrained. In any case, Grant himself was restrained by police and placed face-down on the ground, where a police officer knelt on him. A second officer then drew his gun and shot him point-blank in the back. ( Grant died almost instantly. )
