Officer White

I wait for the day a

White

POLICE OFFICER

pulls me over for
being Hispanic
or for a broken
tail-light.

I will draw a gun and
shoot him
straight
into the head.

watch the blood soak
outside the skin
and into the
dirt.

the white officer,
officer
Jones or
officer Smith
or officer White.

no officer Garcia's or Mendez
or Lopez.

Officer White will
die with his head laying
flat
against
the pavement.

Officer White will
handcuff you,
put you in the back of his car
without an explanation,
draw a gun and
threaten you-

but not you,

you will kill officer White.

officer White can shoot you and
come home for
dinner
at the end of the day.

officer White can fuck his wife
and tell her
about all the niggers
and the spics
he arrested
that day
for not having the same
rights as
him.

Officer White will pepper spray
college students.

Officer White will tase
college students.

Officer White will pull down tents
from Occupy Wall-street
protesters
and Officer White will
prevent
Students
from entering School's
in Birmingham, Alabama
with hoses
from the Fire Department
in the 1960's.

Officer White will vote
Republican and the
Sheriff
will run for office.

Officer White will beat
Rodney King
on the side of the highway and
Officer White
will be on an episode of Cops
when arresting a drug-addict
Vietnam Vet.

Officer White was a Marine and
Officer White was in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Officer White is White and White is as
Black as night
as the bullet goes
through the head
and outside
the skull
to create the peace
that they so solemnly
swore
to protect.
