I'm here to arrest you. You've broken the law. I did not write the law. I may even disagree with the law but I'm here to enforce it. No matter how you plead, beg, or attempt to stir my sympathy. Nothing you do will stop me from placing you in a steel cage with grey bars. If you run, I will chase you. If you fight me, I will fight back. If you shoot at me, I will shoot back.
By law, I am unable to walk away. I am your consequence. I am your unpaid bill. I am fate with a badge and a gun. Behind my badge is a heart like yours. I bleed. I think. I love. I fear and yes I can be killed but I do not fear you nor do I fear death.
Although I am but one, I have thousands of brothers and sisters who are the same as me. They will lay down their lives for me and I for them.
We stand together - the Thin Blue Line protecting the prey from the predator. The sheep from the wolf. The good from the evil.
