"eww! what's up with your eyes?" a kid everyone called 'poppa,' laughed and pointed at kouture who was sitting on the bottom of a slide at their local playground.
"and are you disabled or something? why are you walking in crutches?" poppa's friend laughed along.
5 year old kouture had gotten shot about 4 weeks ago.
about 3 cops were gunning a man down and kouture had gotten caught in the crossfire.
right place wrong time.
she was out with her mom getting ice cream in a plaza they loved to visit.
they were walking with each other, hand in hand, smiling and eating their ice cream.
in the corner of kouture's eye, she saw a dark skinned man getting beaten by 3 white cops.
his face was bruised and blood was leaking from each part of his body.
he was crying and yelling.
kouture had looked and seen a young girl being held back by another cop.
she was crying out for them to stop.
before kouture could get a good look at the girl, "daddy!" is all she heard before gunshots started erupting.
she felt a stinging sensation in her body before she passed out.
2 bullets had hit her lower abdomen and her leg.
the one that went in her lower abdomen didn't do bad damage.
it went straight in and out.
whereas the other bullet had gotten stuck in kouture's leg and fractured her femur.
that was all she remembered before waking up in a hospital bed.
she saw her mom and a doctor talking to each other.
