Image of a full adult Mallard Drake. Close up on his Face. Like all birds, he had no lips to read, but he makes himself clearly and easily understood. "I am Pale Umber." He sounds as factual and as disinterested as a newcaster.
Cut to a blurry, non-steady shot of a Bearded Dragon. He is buff, an broad shouldered, and shirtless in the sun. An off-camera voice, we know it is his grandmother from the 24 hours newscycle, says, "How old are you?"
Cut to close up of a young Pine Marten. Somehow his black eyes betray an incredible anger. "I am Pale Umber." he tells the audience.
Cut to a close up of a middle aged Turtle. Only the tint of his beak suggests his maleness. He looks sad and resigned. "I am Pale Umber."
Cut to a close up of the image young bearded dragon again. The pixels are huge. As he laughs and hides his face in child like shyness. "I'm 14, granny." Zoom in to his eyes, incredibly expressive. With pixels now the size of postage stamps, his eyes seem to twinkle. "You know that."
Cut to a Razorback Porcine female. She's 18, full of youthful rebellion. "I'm Pale Umber." She spits.
Cut to an elderly breaded dragon. People say it's the grandmother, but it is not. She could not bring herself to say her grandson's name. It is a good likeness, however. "I am Pale Umber," she says, as if it was the wisest thing she could import to you. And, perhaps it is.
Cut to a smart phone, held in the hands in the elderly actor's hand. We can see the famous video. He wants so much to shot his basketball into the hoop, but his grandmother is talking to him and he is too polite to turn fully away. In a tinny voice we hear, "your name? 14 years old and you don't even know your name?"
Zoom in on the phone, jump cut to the laughing dragon's head. "You know my name."
Cut to the duck again. "My name is Pale Umber. And I shouldn't be shot just because I'm bigger than you."
Cut to the Pine Martin. "I shouldn't be shot just because I surprised you."
Cut to the Turtle. "I shouldn't be shot just because you think I look scary."
Cut to the Razorback. "Just because you don't like my attitude."
Cut to the faux grandmother, "Just because you had a gun."
Cut to a mixed group of pre-schools. Half repts and half mammals. In a chorus, the call out, "Just because we were there!" They are incredibly cute.
Cute to a newspaper image of the young bearded dragon lying in the street. There is a puddle of blood beneath him and perfectly round red-black holes on his chest. The graphic bullet holes in his head are tastefully cropped out, although everyone knows they are there, the Coup de grace reportedly delivered by Officer Handy when Pale Umber kept trying to sit up.
Pale Umber (Voice Over): "I'm Pale Umber."
ALL (VO): We are Pale Umber. And we won't let criminals be cops any more.

Stand up, before you are shot down.
Tell your politicians, no more fatal "accidents."
Tell congress, cops should be armed with non-lethal weapons.
