Good afternoon
Officer Cop,
Will this be a routine
Or a deadly stop?
Sorry my license
Inadvertently dropped
But there’s no need
For your gun to be cocked

I’ve had the talk,
So I’m not resisting
Though how come you
Seem to be insisting?
I’m being belligerent
As my arm is twisting
No need for your partner
To be assisting

I’m out of my car
Lying on the ground
Now that I’ve been tazed
See, I know the sound
But there’s no need
To fire a round
Or to use judgement
That proves unsound

How many times
Must I say, “I can’t breathe!”
Before I’m gonna
Just be believed
I’m not suggesting
That you be naive
But what are you actually
Tryha achieve?
