Poem: Shutdowns

Shutdowns shutdown dignity.

Shut down, Shutdowns!-
Heard daily, nationally.

After calls are made to lawyers, union reps, clergy and family members, not getting word to police supporters is a major error. In cities under elite liberal "leadership," officers and police executives are politically pressured into catering to police and prison aboliti...
