Above the Law
This is for some who seem to have
lost their way...
Get back on track while you still have
time today.
Why must you use your position of
authority
To be a bully?
We look to you for
Protection
From thieves who come in the dark
of night.
We look to you to make things right.
But lately, it’s all gone wrong.
There is no safe haven to call our
own.
Not in the schools, the church,
Movie theaters, shopping malls,
Clubs, or marathons.
Not even on routine traffic stops...
Pull up;
Shots fired...
Murder for hire.
Fill that quota with blood baths and
yellow tape.
Spread that message of hate
Until we retaliate.
You
Are not
Above
The Law...
Written in 2016; still relevant today...
