5. My youngest is autistic

This is my nightmare. I have it almost every night.

My autistic son is 20 years old now. My size (big) but couldn't harm a fly. He is animated. He tells you he is speaking to you by touching your arm. He communicates by reciting lines form his childhood cartoons. He exhibits his frustrations by shaking his arms and imitiating the Anger character from Pixar's Inside Out when he blows his top.

One day he will do that near the wrong person, a person with a badge and body armor and training that says shoot first, ask quesitons later, and no matter what, make sure you make it your next round of doughnuts and steroids.

Why is it that I hope that every one of those cops has their own child executed in front of them?
