I recently found out that someone I knew had a run in with a police officer on Memorial Day. This couple left his mother's house, and drove the speed limit when a police officer pulled him and his wife over. The police officer told him he was speeding but failed to see the car that almost hit him speeding down the road. After arguing with the officer. He arrested the woman for obstruction of justice when she cussed him out and called him a name. He took her to jail and booked her. They are wanting to fight against it because the police officer was not worried about the speeder but aggravating an honest family trying to drive the speed limit down the street.
What I want is this. I don't want poems criticizing every police officer because we do have some good ones out there that do protect us. I want you to take this one prompt and give me your feelings.
Prompt..." You can't fight City Hall...."
He talked with the mayor of the town and the mayor said he would investigate. After tempers cooled down he talked with the officer and the officer confessed to the mistake he made but now there is a court date, and fines, and court cost. Give me your view.. In a respectable manner. If I receive a poem calling them names it will be dq... This is not to bash the police department or officers but I want your view on the prompt...
I wil allow prewrites if it falls into this prompt.

Pity you do not accept pre-written work. I have something which might (wryly) amuse both you and your friends!

Actually.
She should have kept her head and not cursed the officer and that is why she was arrested. Some of them do make mistakes however when you come at an officer you have made the next mistake in a situation. Perhaps if they had just calmed down the officer could have and would have agreed with them. -
My God,
He admitted he was wrong, that's a miracle in itself. -
Thanks for the gold!!!
