Michael Brown got shot This debate on police violence has been hot Was Michael in the wrong? It seems somewhere before I've heard this same song Ice T talked about it in Cop Killer long ago There is something these police need to know The airport screening, the drones These freedom stealing measures make us feel more alone Like no one cares for our welfare Just doesn't seem very fair The cameras, the unnecessary searches Make the gate way arches shadows menacing lurches Fear and untrust creep in Where will it all end?

About this poem:
The cop who shot Michael Brown resigned because he thought it would calm the violence that has erupted out of this tragedy. He still hasn't been brought to trial. Seems cops can kill anyone they want because it's really about the state mattering more than the people.
