		This song came out originally on Body Count (1992), an album by a rap & heavy metal band of that name which Ice-T had been fronting.

		Cop Killer is about killing cops because as the story tells, Ice-T was held up by a cop because he was fl.
		While Cop Killer is very explicit, it’s still a great starting off with a bit of spoken word by Ice-T and then this full on punk song with machine gun sounds throughout the song giving it certain imagery.
		There is 7 filler songs on this but they at least serve a purpose on the album and the songs don’t really have a lot of substance.

	Fears of the White Unconscious: Music, Race, and Identification in the censorship of "Cop Killer"
		It was this articulation of repressed and contradictory elements of suburban white male identity with the equally unspeakable fears aroused by the Los Angeles rebellion that forced the censorship of "Cop Killer".
		The story of "Cop Killer" and its censorship is inextricably imbricated with the occurrences in Los Angeles during late April and early May of 1992.
		"Cop Killer" had to be censored because it demonstrates at the level of shared lived experience that this difference is not essential, rather it is undeniably historical and cultural.

	Rapping about cop killing. Dennis R. Martin Mark Hamm Jeff Ferrell
		Sales of Cop Killer, and the Body Count album on which it appears, have soared since law enforcement officers from around the country rallied behind police organizations like the National Association of Chiefs of Police, CLEAT (Combined Law Enforcement Officers of Texas), and the American Federation of Police.
		The teen-age killer, Ronald Howard, explained to law enforcement authorities that he felt hypnotized by the lyrics of six songs by the rap group 2 Pac, from their album 2 Pacalypse Now which urge the killing of police officers.
		And to demonstrate how this song may have changed the social and political consciousness of these would-be cop killers, within the dynamics of their own sub cultural arrangements, is of paramount importance for understanding the situated social meanings of gangster rap.

	Review/Rock; Ice-T as Macho Avenger, With Attitude to Spare - New York Times
		He took pains to praise some police officers, saying, "The hardest job in the world is being an honest cop." Then he went on to detail the targets of the song: someone who "puts on that badge and thinks he or she is God." "Be careful," he added afterward.
		And as in hip-hop concerts, he spends time between songs setting up their premises, making sure the audience understands his point of view and how ironic he intends to be.
		Sometimes, as in "Cop Killer," the songs' violence is provoked by racism; elsewhere, as in a new song called "Last Breath," he simply plays a psychotic who preys on women.

		Springsteen's mournful song, which includes the lyric "You can get killed just for living in your American skin," is hardly the harshest attack on the police, but it prompted a call from the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association for a boycott of Springsteen's 10 performances at Madison Square Garden.

		The song was inspired by Schoolly D's "PSK" and became itself the inspiration for Eazy E and NWA's "Boyz N The Hood." Ice-T went on to work with Afrika Islam, the man behind the beats on 1987's Rhyme Pays, 1988's Power and 1989's The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...
		This eventually caused the album to be re-issued with "Cop Killer" removed, and Warner Brothers Records to drop him from the label.
		He answered the controversy by saying the song was written in character, and that "if you believe that I'm a cop killer, you believe David Bowie is an astronaut." Indeed, Ice-T has portrayed police officers many times in his acting career.

		Banned by radio stations in Boston because of its supposedly lewd content, the song rocketed to the top of the charts spurred by the resultant publicity.
		"Porn Wars" is by far the longest song I’ve included on the tapes for MHM306, but it provides wonderful insight into the testimony for the Senate and shows one creative artist’s attempt to depict the confusion, irrationality, and misinformation he perceived to characterize the event.

		Now the song's story becomes even more unusual: The narrator recounts how his girl faces up to the cops, while he shivers with fear behind her.
		The song fits neatly into the category of cop songs, even as it exposes the genre for what it really is, something even more familiar.
		After all, at its core, "Cop Killer" serves as a love story between Ice-T's hero and a fl community frustrated by the Rodney King beating, while Springsteen's "State Trooper" recounts the love story between the hero and freedom.

		So now the big question is, "Should cop killers receive the death penalty?" Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno has been pushing the issue and, on April 25th, the Utica Police Chief commented during a press conference that it has become "open season" on police officers.
		From there, the song goes on into about 25 lines that involve the line, "Fk the Police!" There is also a "Die, die, die pig, die!" (Huh, maybe that's where Alec Baldwin got it from.) The song** is terrible.
		Police don't need the added threat of these crazy cop killers who just want to be fashionable or who have a death wish for themselves.
