Where is Justice?

I have hesitated to write about all of this, but it keeps haunting me.

Police claim to serve and protect
But that's not what many can expect
Killing twelve year old boys
Just playing with toys
Donning riot gear when people object.

The grand jury failed to appease
Ferguson's distrust and unease
When peaceful protest
Becomes civil 'unrest'
It's a symptom, it's not the disease.

Just what does excessive force mean?
What evidence needs to be seen?
Is justice a joke?
That illegal choke
Was visible right there on the screen.
