Question 2 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S2 [E4260OX]
Read this excerpt from "It's My Constitutional Right!"One cop grabbed one of my hands and his partner grabbed the other and they pulled me straight up out of my seat. My books went flying everywhere. I went limp as a baby--I was too smart to fight back. They started dragging me backwards off the bus. One of them kicked me. I might have scratched one of them because I had long nails, but I sure didn't fight back. I kept screaming over and over, "It's my constitutional right!" I wasn't shouting anything profane--I never swore, not then, not ever. I was shouting out my rights.
