Officer🐘 you pulled me over today. Not to be mean🐘 or because of a "quota" Not because my car is old🐘 Not because I'm young and female.. But because I was speeding. I was pulled over today. I pulled over before you turned your lights on. I waited for you with my papers In my hand🐘 outside the window. I called you sir🐘 you called me ma'am. We were respectful toward one another. I did not lie🐘 cry🐘 or cut you down for doing your job. And you didn't have to argue with me. I didn't run🐘 thus you didn't chase me. I didn't pull a gun on you🐘 So you didn't shoot me. I did not resist🐘 You didn't have to put hands on me. I did not pull out a camcorder I don't want you to feel scared to do your job Or like you are walking on eggshells because I need you to feel comfortable keeping us safe. And I want you to come home to your family tonight. I know you were sworn in.. You may have sworn your last breath For me or those like me🐘 and for those like you. I will not tell you how to do your job. I know I can't do your job. Not many can. When you pulled me over today🐘 I saw your unit.. A Setina guard on the front A camera behind the windshield A gun🐘 a tazer🐘 and handcuffs on your belt. And I know these things are to protect you🐘 And to protect those like you🐘 And to protect those like me. And I felt no need to complicate things Like others have done. Officer you pulled me over today. You wrote me a ticket today For something I know I did. But there are bigger things beyond tickets So I said "Thank You" And I meant it. Because on that ticket is a signature of a man That would sacrifice his last breath to keep us safe🐘 And die for his brothers. And that signature is on a citation.. But I'll respect it when I see it. I know Safety comes at a price. I'd rather it be a few hundred bucks Than someone's life. Once again🐘 Thank you.
