It’s a chaotic day in Missouri Department of Corrections there is a riot going on.
Derrick Smith is a newly transferred inmate having killed a person during an altercation over drugs. He came from Kansas City county jail. He came from a broken home with no mom and an alcoholic father growing up in a dangerous neighborhood he never really stood a chance in making something of him. Derrick and another prisoner have a Guard surrounded. Today Prison Guard Peter Vedder is on watch at Missouri Department of Corrections and is in full riot gear due to an ongoing prison riot. Peter is cornered by two prisoners and needs to know if he can use lethal force. Peter is a ex-police man who got fired for unlawful conduct. He has a Wife and kid who he loves dearly, every day he prays that he will come home from work alive, right now he isn’t sure if that will happen. On the other line to Peters call for help is Warden Micheal. Warden Micheal is a church going religious man and believes in redemption for anybody. He also believes in using non-violence in almost any giving situation. Today Warden Micheal has to make a rash decision dealing with life or death; he has to approve of lethal force in a riot. Micheal finally approves of lethal force. Peter shots both Derrick Smith and his accomplice. Luckily for everyone, no-one dies today.
I read your post in Don LaFontaine's voice. "In a world where Peter Vedder has been fired for unlawful conduct." It sounds like it'd make for a pretty good movie.
