Cossacks in Blue

 News Note: "Counsel for the defense scores police brutality"

By Marcus B. Christian

"Innocent until proved guilty?"

That's the lawyer's crap;

Sure that niggah stole the coat --

Open up his trap!

"Twist his arm a little bit --

Grill him night and day;

Punch his nose and slap his face,

This is children's play.

"Make the niggah bastard talk --

Brain him with your gats;

Beat him with this rubber hose --

Punch him in the slats.

"beat the daylights outa him

Till he cannot rise;

Kick him till his nose bleeds --

Blacken up his eyes."

This ain't Torquemada --

Tain't no "Scourge of God" --

Hit's jess l'il ole Newleens

"Makeum-tell-it Squad."
