Did you ever notice the strange resemblances between the police and the local thugs? . . . . . . . What, no answer? Too afraid to speak? Don’t worry just have a
read through and I’ll explain. 

Now this week I thought that I should take a different approach with this article, so as a result my style of writing has changed somewhat, but fear not this transition is only a brief one, well that depends on whether or not you like it. I’ve never studied Psychology, I wasn’t even that good at reading body language, just ask my ex-girlfriends. Let me stop before I compromise myself even more. Now I have always been, pretty good at analyzing. And with that said I have noticed some uncanny similarities with the police and your everyday street thug, it’s an eye-opener, trust me. So sit back open your minds and lets begin shall we? Now let’s start with the basics, the gun.

Now police carry guns for two reasons, one is for protection, (protection form themselves or protection from society, who knows?) and the second is they fear being shot themselves, you know that saying, "I'll shoot you before you even think about shooting me", It may sound quite ludicrous, but then most things about the police tend to be. This next point is going to hurt all you hard working citizens, much like myself. If you didn't know already police take the money that you work so hard for five days a week, you know everyone has to get paid. They just get paid at our expense, now that truly sucks. My answer lets revolt together, now that what I call democracy. 

 

 Third point: do you notice how police have different levels of power, everyone has to start at the bottom and make their way up it’s like a form of initiation, i.e. the guy who has to go out patrolling the streets, or the guy who stays behind learning the ropes waiting for his lucky break. Are you beginning to see a pattern developing? Yes? No? Its okay I’m not quite finished anyway. 

Fourth point: now can anyone tell me what the true point of backup is? Police tend to call for backup whenever and whatever the situation, even if they clearly out number you. Word of advice if you are seen as a threat, you best believe that your going to get doubledteam, because as you know there truly is strength in numbers. 

While we’re on the topic of numbers, I’m not sure about you but I usually feel intimidated when I see a number of police advancing towards me when I‘m just casually walking along the street. And in the back of my mind I’m waiting for the words: “Where YOU off to?” trust me it always results in something going down, i.e. you getting abused, and I'm not talking about the prison way, but trust me in it’s own way it’s just as bad. What am I saying? Not Quite.

Now, if your already confused replace the word police with the word thug, and then look at the TRUE similarities of the boy‘s in blue and your local street thug. Now don’t get me wrong I really didn’t want to preach, because in all honesty nobody likes a preacher just asks Don King. I just thought I would use just a little bit of humor to get my point across, did it work?

NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS.
DO YOU SHIVER WHEN YOU MEET THE POLICE?
