Taser

Serve, protect.
Bring tyrants to justice.
There's electricity in your hand
so you don't have to kill.
No blood, no harm.

Serve, protect.
You saved a hostage last week,
but why did you shock that old lady?
She was being too stubborn.
No blood, no harm.

Serve, protect.
A mother of three pulled over for speeding
stunned because she got in her van without asking.
Officer, don't you feel pathetic?
No blood, no harm.

Serve, protect.
Abuse the power because you have it.
Criminals would use tasers just as often.
What's your reason for that?
No blood, no harm.
