Story Behind The Song
This is a protest song against police corruption that contains the actual telephone recordings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies reporting in to Narcotics Headquarters moments after the deadly raid on Trails End Ranch, October 2nd, 1992. This song was cathartic for me after my husband was brutally and needlessly killed by the Malibu cops. Think of it as musical therapy, although I?m sure the guilty police won?t feel that way.

Lyrics
When you are in love and its cut short
What can I do but go on
And I want you to know
I will carry the torch even though youve fallen in the raging storm
When they came and shot you, they wounded me as well,
Though my scars are not so plain to see
Im cornered and Im bleeding Im a woman thats mad as hell
Put yourselves in protective custody
Im going to stop you
Do we defend ourselves from you
Protect and serve is what youre supposed to do
Im going to stop you
Im asking how good people conceive of a gang in disguise of
Murdering thieves?
Sleeping in our home we were warm and we were safe
They crashed the front door in and gunned Don down
The troops had made some goofs
It was all just a big mistake
I was the only Plante that they found and
Im going to stop you! .
Im going to make you realize mistakes like this cost peoples lives
Im going to stop you! Im going to fight until I drop
Im going to get every last one of you corrupt cops
The State was greedy, They wanted our home and
They planned this all along
They trumped up some charges and killed my man and we didnt do anything wrong. Now, Im paying the price and the bills pretty high and I may lose my place but as long as Im walking on Gods green earth,
Brother, Im going to be right in your face
Im Going To Stop You!
Im going to make you realize your not going to take peoples lives!
Im going to stop you! Im going to fight you corrupt cops
Im going to stop you murdering cops
