Today a body finally rested
But the scars remained - in their hearts, our minds
Angry calls, heart-wrenching clamours muted
Form the IPCMC to placate, stop our never ending whines
Don't resort to boiling water
Or physical harm for that matter
A respected entity, professionals in blue
Live up to your motto through and through
To the dim ones with the thumbs up
Your heads need examination and a drub
Whomsoever is yet to be charged is a suspect
By a certain extent of the law, they still command respect
A life is a life regardless
Rights to be respected nonetheless
Uniformed men and women of the armed forces
I admire and salute not the bad apples
Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat = The burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies. Principle of presumption of innocence. [More here and here]
IPCMC = Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission
Police the police!
