Keystone Cops
Keystone cops
Time square, New York everything happens here
a man wanted to kill the one who had him fired,
and did… great consternation.
New York finest came opened up fire against
the killer who wasn´t shooting at them and wasn´t
asked to drop his weapon.
In the busy square the blue dressed defender
opened up fire… rightly perhaps… but the result was
one dead killer and nine wounded bystander.
Mayor Bloomberg came on the spot. He looked
furious, as he might, a blunder, but for luck, may
easily ended with people killed by the police.
One can only assume that police shooting wildly
about acted without assessing the happening,
in cases like this a gun is not enough.
