the police

...the “power” which is called the state ... arose from society but places itself above it and alienates itself more and more from it. what does this power mainly consist of? it consists of special bodies of armed men having prisons, etc., at their command.

when they kick at your front door
how you gonna come?
with your hands on your head
or on the trigger of your gun...

take the word "overseer," like a sample
repeat it very quickly in a crew for example
overseer overseer overseer overseer...
officer officer officer officer!
yeah, officer from overseer
you need a little clarity?
check the similarity!
the overseer rode around the plantation
the officer is off patroling all the nation...

the oakland police department wants to push a youth curfew law through the public safety committee of the oakland city council tomorrow. the curfew would apply to all young people under 18 years of age on the public streets between the hours of 10pm and 5am sunday through thursday, and 11pm to 5am fridays & saturdays. young people who violate the curfew would be questioned and detained. what?! really it's the police who should be put under curfew. they're the ones that go around shooting unarmed people in the back in the middle of the night.

show up for public comment!
