Who are you?
All dressed in blue
I don't know or care who
You are.
You're an occupation
Not a real person
(A person would stand taller)
Just a gun
What could be smaller?
You're a lecher
You're a beater
And a liar
And a cheater
A government goon
An absolute baffoon
A waste of time and will
The inhuman buzz-kill
A murderer in training
A psychopath in waiting
Cherry's wailing speed detector
Just a lowly tax collector
A coward and defector
Not really our protector
One day you will be stopped
But who can police a cop?

Tazer abuse, murder on a streetcar, speeding ticket quotas, we've let these once honest purveyors of justice become a group of macho (even the females) bad guys. I hate to criticize the police, but there's been a few too many instances of blatant abuse lately. I'd love to believe they're peacekeepers, but it seems like whenever these guys are around, corruption and politics aren't far behind...what do you think?
Ever Yours'
