Please, help me out there:
God damn those 8 long minutes
Lying face down in cuffs on the ground
Bystanders pleaded for mercy
As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd
When did a judge and a jury
Become a badge and a knee
On these streets
This verse is obviously above the death of GF. What doesn't make much sense to me is the one line. I may not fully understand the verb "shove" or the "kid" is someone totally else than GF. Or was he shoved to a some crowd? I thought he was taken out and arrested.
