“To Protect and to Serve”

***Disclaimer: I got this idea from Pinterest, an exercise where you write a 20 word sentence, then a 19 word sentence, and so on, ending the story with one word.***

—

I solemnly swear my fundamental duty is to serve my interests over the community; to safeguard my life and property. 

I won’t protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, the peaceful against violence or disorder. 

And furthermore, I most definitely won’t respect the constitutional rights of all people to liberty, equality and justice.

My private life sullied…I won’t develop self-restraint…or be constantly mindful of the welfare of others.

Dishonest in thought and deed…non-exemplary in obeying the laws and the regulations of my department.

I will act officiously and permit personal feelings, prejudices, political beliefs…to influence my decisions.

I will enforce the law discourteously and inappropriately…always with malice and ill will.

I will always employ unnecessary force and violence and will always accept gratuities.

I will engage in corruption and bribery in the pursuit of injustice.

I know I am responsible for my standard of unprofessional performance. 

I’ll take every opportunity to diminish my knowledge and competence.

I further swear I will not support the constitution.

That I will not faithfully enforce the laws.

Will not perform the duties of officer.

To the best of my ability. 

I swear…accept this oath.

Subject to all limitations.

I will protect.

Will serve.

Myself.

THE END
