Addressed to only anarchists, and not law abiding protestors:

A WELL-DESERVED BEATING



Many come to Miami on vacation

For nothing more than our sunny location

But you came to our Magic City to cause unrest,

And didn't expect to see so many in armored vests.

You came armed with your marbles and wrist rockets

Hoping we'd keep our hands in our pockets.

While you carried on, wearing a black hood,

Patient and unmoved our troops stood.

So you thought you'd fight, rob, be a vandal

Thinking Miami's Finest would cause the scandal.

But you crossed some serious legal bounds

And then felt the force of our non-lethal rounds.

You must’ve thought you were slick to throw some stones

Not thinking with our sticks we’d break your bones

Oh how, unfortunately, quick the time passed

As we all watched while you got tear-gassed

With paint and violence you did attack,

Too bad for you pepper spray was shot back.

You tried to start fires, throw smoke bombs, and then run

It was quite funny when you got shot with a stun gun

Amusing it was to observe from home

While on our city streets you did roam

So to conclude, this isn’t just meant to mock,

But a reminder to stay off Our Block.
