Relative Rights

If you want to be a cop
You have to be the bigger man
(Even at a traffic stop).
You take risks so others can
Enjoy their life and liberty;
Which means you do not get to claim
Your own safety's supremacy
Above the public's. Oh, for shame!
To say your fear lets you deprive
Another's rights, or shoot to kill
When you have promised all to strive
For their protection, come what will.
Your honor comes precisely from
Defending them and their freedom.
