sinking pot and lets it be where it is,
sinking still more after the stirring

to remove it as quietly and carefully

mixing its various properties and
stirring up it's contents.
Can the police department be
abolished? Why not? What pro-
lection does the average citizen get
from the police? Do they ever get
any real criminal, unless it be one
who runs directly into their arms?
