Brutal

By: Tobe Ozieh

Protection and justice is everything you want from a person in blue.

What if they can’t give that to you.

Innocent people being shot and killed.

Families crying because their kids, parents, friends are getting hurt.

People afraid or lacking trust.

The wrongfully accused not getting their justice.

Being tackled to the ground with the concrete staring you in the face.

Protesters being blocked and crowded.

Getting labeled as “suspicious”.

Clouded judgement stopping the people in blue from doing their jobs.

Citizens being tossed around, pushed to the ground, tackled, and hardly able to breathe.

Humans being treated like animals.

This is all for what?

That’s what I would like to know.
