Henry David Thoreau was a well-known American writer, and he published an essay about "civil disobedience" in 1849 [reprinted after his death, also, in 1866]. At the time, Thoreau was mainly reacting to slavery in the USA.... He said people shouldn't cooperate with the government if the government is participating in corrupt and unethical practises.... Individuals like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Junior, were reportedly influenced by this essay by Thoreau, as well as many other people....
In the secret police project, there've been references to Thoreau in film.... The police and firefighters were participating in a certain amount of "civil disobedience" by accusing me falsely, for the sake of helping with the LGBTQ rights.... I don't believe that our society used to have the correct views of and tolerance for gays before this business started.... Whether the police directly related to Thoreau or not, I don't know right now...but chances are they did? And at least in hindsight, I can say there were good reasons for the things that happened....
The question now is, how much longer will I be held under false charges? Is it worthwhile to carry on, or would it be better to tell the public what happened and let more people get involved in supporting the LGBTQs? That's a big question. The police don't necessarily have to go public immediately but they could start preparing for it...!?
