      Code Blue - Jamell Crouthers

      Officers Under Mind Control

      Sometimes you find out things you never think you should,

      How officers are controlled mentally to do certain things.

      It’s drilled into their heads and it becomes part of the subconscious mind,

      That eventually you believe what’s being told to you and you do it.

      It’s like doing a scientific experiment on lab rats and seeing the results,

      Then when you get the end result, you know it has worked in its entirety.

      I start to question how this actually happens to a lot of us,

      To me it seems like I became part of that experiment in a way.

      When I think about when I first started on the police force, certain things come to mind,

      How you’re asked a series of questions about your personality and who you are,

      I mean of course any workplace wants to know how you conduct yourself.

      But it goes beyond that and you have to deal with certain scenarios that happen,

      You have to be mentally prepared for anything and everything as an officer of the law.

      We get trained for 6 months on the law, being on the streets, certain situations,

      Along with many other things but lawyers have to be in school for years.

      Then they have to go through an extensive amount of work in different places,

      All before they can actually practice law and be in the courtrooms everyday.

      With me, I’m starting to realize I was under mind control in a lot of ways,

      I was comfortable with my job, my paychecks were there, pension was being saved.

      My family was covered with health benefits, I was five years into my career,

      I would see certain things here and there but really didn’t think anything of it.

      The naive part of me took things like a grain of salt and never said anything,

      To me, I think those were things being shown to me as mental tests.

      We were given direct orders from our lieutenants and sergeants daily,

      It was follow orders and maintain your arrest numbers or there would be repercussions.

      There would always be inappropriate comments how arrest numbers can be made,

      How if we went into the black and latino neighborhoods, we’re good.

      With laughter came the reality that no one cared about the communities I grew up in,

      And it didn’t matter what race the cop was they just didn’t care about those people.

      They knew of my personality and how I was and they used it to their advantage,

      So by the time the police bulletins became a precinct wide ordeal, I was sucked in.

      There was no way out for me (or so I thought), but I was wrong,

      I did get out but now I spend most of my days at my parents house reflecting on things.

      Your mind is infiltrated with so many messages everyday that you don’t stop to think,

      You just continually and casually, go with the flow, which is how it goes most of the time.

      You get caught up in seeing wrongs, doing wrongs and thinking nothing of it,

      Until your conscience starts talking to you and that’s what that locker room consisted of.

      It consisted of looking in the mirror and realizing you’re being duped,

      You’re being put on the streets to go against a certain race no matter the circumstances.

      They’re criminals and animals before they’re considered citizens or even human beings,

      I knew I was under mind control because of how long it took for me to tell it all.

      Just imagine how many police officers just go with the flow everyday like it’s nothing,

      Knowing that a lot of what’s going on is wrong and they go home with those burdens.

      How they have to stick to the color they’re wearing on their backs instead of how we bleed,

      It’s about the red blood that’s on our hands and we’re accomplices to crimes.

      We’re
