Police Brutality


Enough! No more! Brutality needs to stop! Screw the 2nd amendment just cause it was at a pawn shop! Sure, you have the right but is it really okay. Just cause you have one, you don’t get a parade. Sure, crime may be high but no need for assumptions. We need to work together for us to function. Police, the gun isn’t the first option or choice. When you pull the trigger, no one rejoices. Maybe you stopped a good guy gone bad. Even if so, his family is now sad. Investigations on why you shot a man. It could’ve been avoided, if the gun wasn’t in your hands. Just walk to the car and check inside. If innocent, let them finish their ride Around town, cause now he’s restricted. I bet you wish the bullets would’ve missed it. Few good men driving in their car. Not aware if they’re drunk coming from a bar. 50 shots, life doesn’t go on for him. Friends, family and more, You RUINED them. Enough is enough! Let’s stand up for what’s right. You claiming assault but you started the fight. What’s wrong with you? Are you okay? That’s all you really have to say. Killings and beatings, is what slavery was about. After the Civil Amendments, Slavery was out. Black, white, Mexican or whoever else Don’t be worried about us. Save yourself. If you put a hand on us, you’ll think it’s okay. All the other police buddies shout “Hip, Hip, Hooray!” No! That’s not what you’re paid to do. Thank God for others so you can be sued. You killed somebody’s child, husband, fiancé or relative. No you’re in court wondering if you’re gonna live. Enough is enough I’ve had it okay. This Friday, I’m we have National Stand Against Police Brutality Day!
