I am the police, and I’m here to arrest you.
You’ve broken the law. I did not write the law. I may even disagree with the law but I will enforce it.
No matter how you plead, cajole, beg or attempt to stir my sympathies, nothing you do will stop me from placing you in a steel cage with gray bars.
If you run away I will chase you.
If you fight me I will fight back.
If you shoot at me I will shoot back.
By law I am unable to walk away.
I am a consequence. I am the unpaid bill. I am fate with a badge and a gun.
Behind my badge is a heart like yours.
I bleed, I think, I love, and yes I can be killed.
And although I am but one man, I have thousands of brothers and sisters who are the same as me.
They will lay down their lives for me, and I them.
We stand watch together.
The thin-blue-line, protecting the prey from the predators, the good from the bad.
We are the police.
