Reality Check
Location
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view
Offender’s skin shouldn't make a difference in the end its true
Living the life of a criminal is a choice we all can make
Once that choice is made, it's a chance you chose to take
Real law breakers live on the edge and challenge the police
Likely acting crazy and sometimes running like a flock of geese
Easy is not how I would describe a police officer's job at all
Sometimes they have to chase after a criminal and make a call
Showing they are human and make mistakes, they might be wrong
Seeing what they think is a gun or a knife as they follow along
Killing a person is not the first thought on their mind at all
Instead getting home safely is what they want on every call
Needless to say they aren't perfect and do make a mistake
The public is quick to jump and try to get them to break
Only if people would think about the job the officer was hired to do
A person broke the law, the officer is to arrest so he or she must pursue
Not complying with the requests to stop and put their hands up in the air
Officers are trained to protect lives so they put their training into motion
Forced to defend and protect they demand compliance without commotion
Finding defiance is their worst case scenario and a dangerous one at that
It endangers everyone not just the police so serious action they must take
Choosing to use brute or deadly force is never an easy choice to make
Entering into a deadly situation skin color is a non-issue it’s true
Really the win-win situation is to defuse the situation and protect me and you
