Poem


I should have heard all the indications that the level of danger was low; no shots fired, no weapons, no anger or injuries, and no screaming, just a possible exchange of counterfeit currency.

I should have arrived on scene happy and glad that this was not a place of terror from gun shots, citizens hurt and in fear. 

I should have gotten out of my vehicle ready to administer help and guidance.

I should have immediately begun to listen and realize that the level of danger was in fact low, and could simply have been maintained at this level.

I should have had this citizen sit back down on the sidewalk with his back against the wall.

I should have had two of my fellow officers one at my ten, and one at my two help watch and attend to the citizen.

I should have looked after the citizen and only used appropriate force equivalent to my deterrents if a detention was needed to ballast the citizen.

I should have asked allot more questions.

I should have recognized a human being was doing his best to comply.

I should have used compassion to resolve a minor dilemma.

I should have slowed down and remained calm, project a sense of controlled leadership.

I should have reached out a hand of security and endearment.

I should have served and protected.
