#289. Potter

I know she's havin' a bad week n'at.  But oh well... here's another Kim Potter parody.   

 

 

 

This might sound absurd.  But wouldn't it be advantageous for every cop to yell "Taser!  Taser!  Taser!" anytime they discharge their service revolver?  Seriously, especially in the present day of body cams and bystander cell recordings.  Not to mention all the high resolution outdoor cameras (strictly for the safety of innocent civilians of course).  It'd be the ultimate built in excuse.  Plausible deniability.  The perfect, "in hindsight" excuse for dismissing culpability beyond a reasonable doubt.  It's essentially a get out of jail free card.  "Uh, when the adrenaline hit, I made a mistake.  Sorry my bad."

Dedicated to the victims of blue violence.  I know, I know... it's just a few bad apples.  But hey, life's an orchard.  Yeah, I know.  And the Orange Prolapse (Trump) is the Big Mac of McIntosh red.

 

Potter
sonofsaf

Hormones, dismiss
Wasn’t able to function amidst the gloom
White world, vehemence
Don’t you worry ‘bout transgressions
The Proud Boys make you proud, we all try to comprehend it
Always yelling loud
Other cops frown, at you instead
Charges loom, it’s the same old dance and song

Don't kill me Potter, bullet through
The taser was not meant for me
Don't kill me Potter, bullet through
The taser was not meant for me
Don’t kill me

She pulls her gun it makes a sound
She professes love, uh uh
Don't kill me Potter, bullet through
The taser was not meant for me
Don't kill me Potter, bullet through
The taser was not meant for me
Don't kill me Potter, bullet through
The taser was not meant for me
Don't kill me Potter, bullet through
The taser was not meant for me
Don't kill me

Other cops frown

Daughter
Pearl Jam

Alone, listless
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violence
Center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above, uh uh
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go go
Go
