"The
Legend"
|

The
truth, however, involved the considerably less epic count split from the
Panthers' drug profits. Wayne's sudden, ill-timed burst of manhood saved
the party leaders from a routine accounting session. But,
see, firing a gun at a New York Cop is like mooning the Pope. It's just
not done. Bang, bang, bang and there were units rolling from the local precinct and now everybody had to get paid: the arriving officers, their shift commanders, the greaseball Major Crimes grunts— it was a mess. And the locals absolutely could not know their radical right wing liberationist heroes were turning down the sheets with Officer Flatfoot. So Wayne became first a hero and then a legend. The story of his heroism grew as it was told and retold, joining those of Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, and Eldridge Cleaver in the plangent strum of urban lore across the landscape of the concrete jungle. by James Fry and Andrew Pepoy CLICK IMAGE TO CONTINUE CONCRETE JUNGLE |
