A creative piece written for younger aged viewers about police officers. To give them a little insight of careers with simple context, while serving them a taste of information regarding the job. Hopefully something inspires them in their youth, towards a positive goal in their future.

The police officers carry a gun.
It is for protection, not for fun.
They wear a badge to be seen by all,
To serve the public on jobs big and small.
They jump in their cars and race to the scene;
Lights on the cars flash to let us know urgency.
They are here to help, not to fear.
It is nice to have police officers near.
They also pick up people doing wrong
Putting some in a jail where they belong.

    police officer\’s job is for protecting property not protecting people-they are world saving wannab\’s and murders and they will get theirs in the next world where they belong-they work for a machine that feeds off of fear and power greed and lies. Its there job to look for citizens who look suspicious
    like maybe a black guy driving a caddilac excalade with spinning rims and a loud bass system. They use illegal tactics when abusing inocent or not victems. all of our tax dollars are spent to feed them and all they want is to fill there quota-they litterly get away with murder-someone could stab me on any street in any city and i still wouldnt call for there help-they cause massive suffering- and hopefully someday there funds will be from there own sweat and tears and not all of ours. i hope you dont think less of my opinion but do the research and it might shock you about how much scandles are among our police agenties in our country

    Please join me in requesting all communities that their police officers must address the public as “citizen”. The psychological event which happens when they have to do that will aid both police and society.
