In the US
Some cops shoot first
They're called racists
In Canada
Some cops shoot last
They're called dead ducks
I had spend considerable time addressing every single one of Bri Edwards comments. And they appear to be nowhere in sight. Can Poem Hunter please help! Thank You!
(cont. from a previous interrupted comment) : now I lost what I'd typed for continuing. My point was to be that one accused of 'racism' would be of a different 'race' than the person harmed.
With all due respect, Bri, I am well versed in the meanings of 'racism' and 'race'. I have fought against racism all of my life!
Would a white officer be called a 'racist' if she killed a white person who seemed to be pointing a gun at her?
and furthermore......probably police officer aka 'cops' are only called 'racists' when they shoot or otherwise injure, mentally or physically, a person of another 'race'. So a 'black cop'
I SAY: ' THE POEM 'needs' a couple of 'SOME OF THEM ARE' to REPLACE THE two 'They're'. Does anyone agree? ? bri ;)
That would take away from the 'provokingness'! So, I don't agree with you on this one, Bri.
