The Blue Wall of silence unequivocally permits
violence when it is one of it’s own doing the violating
Giving serve and protect an even deadlier meaning.
Treating the world like their personal playground
letting everyone know who the biggest gang
in town truly is, disregarding certain members
of the public’s safety when interactively engaging
with the people.
Deplorable actions only lead to minor
infractions, believing that they are above any
reproach at all.
The Blue Wall keeps the good ones
from doing what is right whenever
they see something they don’t like.
I ask you how is The Blue Wall any different
from no snitching that has been adopted
in the streets?
Both labels anyone who indeed
talks as a filthy dirty rat?
Both puts a target on the narcs back
and makes them susceptible to being
attacked.
Both the code of two different gangs
just worded differently as to not sound the same.
This is so well phrased and very true.
The line that stood out to me the most was
“letting everyone know who the biggest gang
in town truly is,”
and the way that comes back in the poem, really resonates.
