The Police Questionnaire
--------------------
Someone I know
is trying to join
the police force.
I know
I feel the same
way too
but I really love
this person.
I was asking them
how the first online
interview went.
'It's just like a kind
of questionnaire
sort of thing.
What would you do
in certain circumstances'
Me, being a natural
piss taker said;
You come across a
gang of white men
standing around,
and a black man
on the floor, bleeding.
Who do you arrest ?
If you answered
The black man.
Welcome to the police.
