Image of Various Degree
Image is everything according to spoken voices.
But some must admit and adjust their image isn't held out.
Especially those in uniforms of law.
Black no one but yourself?
And quick crying Blue Lives Matters because some wear grey.
Bull Connor, boys of Alabama destroy apart of your respect.
Attacking innocent people for any and every reason imaginable.
Rodney King attack, then LAPD like their east coast counterpart NYPD image is held high.
Except in police officers' eyes.
Then George Floyd's death brought about by a veteran clown.
Who?
Now have a target on his back.
And they crying for respect.
Think about the race you constantly seem to attack.
In all three mentions above they were black.
Respect is earned and not gain because you wear a gun and a uniform.
Image is simply a tool to represent yourself accordingly.
Even if you the police.
