The
Black Lives Matter that cops are predators of blacks myth
Has
just delivered to an innocent Australian about to be a bride a deadly gift
Her
“crime” was to call 911
Hearing
screams that maybe a rape had just begun
Called
again after 8 minutes to make sure the dispatcher had the address right
Finally
the cops arrived and Ms Damond approached the car in pajamas with no weapon in
sight
Only
to be fatally shot by Officer Noor
As
she approached the patrol car door
No
body cams or dashboard cams turned on to record this tragic scene
Only
after the wave of killings of cops this could have been foreseen
Each
cop must now feel that he or she wears not a badge but a bulls eye
Wondering
if today in response to a call for help is the day he or she will die
An
ambush by a woman in pajamas seems hard too remotely believe
But
days after the assassination of a mother it is chilling what the anti-cop
rhetoric has achieved
Two
officers placed on administrative leave with a city facing a certain wrongful
death suit
The
consequences of the Black Lives Matter “cops are killers” mantra bearing deadly
fruit
If
it is the perception in the station, squad cars and on the beat
That
it’s open season on them and citizens are not there to greet
But
to kill or maim, watch anarchy rise and civilization retreat
The
drums of anti police hatred and revenge continue to beat
