It's A Fair Cop

It's A Fair Cop (broadcast 11th April 2012) . He was taught to believe that Law & Order, Would maintain Peace throughout the land, Society balanced in accordance, Everybody needs the “Master Plan”, . He believed crime could be abolished, And that trials reward the honest, And everybody deserved their day in court, Especially if their boots were neatly polished, . For Justice always must prevail, And the bad guys must always be sent to jail, To serve at Her Majesty’s Pleasure, Or tickle her measure by posting bail, . He was taught all men should be treated as equal, And no race should be greeted as evil, And none should be placed above the law, For the law must embrace all the needs of its people, . And even though he knew the system wasn’t perfect, He vowed best to protect & serve it, And he understood why some would curse it, For there were some who would pervert it, . For past events were viewed as cruel, Where brutality had caused a wound, And the community had bruised memories Of ancient sparks & rocket fuel, . He recognised some truths were institutional, But he knew some accusations were delusional, Bad apples shouldn’t spoil the whole barrel, But the rot?...was inexcusable, . Yet he knew so many officers who tried their best, To restore the trust that had been transgressed, And every night they risked their lives, In the line of duty to protect, . But Reputation can NEVER rest, In its quest to gain respect, And the same people who chastise you, Will dial “999” if there’s any unrest, . Yet he believed in Law & Order, And that truth must take its stand, And for balanced Law Enforcement, Good Men must do the BEST they can, . © Mr Gee
