Kneecap (Band): "C.E.A.R.T.A"'s lyrics and video show two of the band in trouble with the police. The one English section of the lyrics, in the policeman's voice, explains that one of them is being detained for "damaging public property". The video shows this crime as graffiti. "Your Sniffer Dogs Are Shite" is about being stopped for a drugs search and threatened by the police. The protagonist eventually snaps and knifes both the policeman and the sniffer dog, or at least fantasises about doing so. |

clipping. have a couple of notable ones: "Knees On The Ground" is a chilling depiction of a black boy being shot dead by a cop, and the militarised police presence at the resulting protest. "Chapter 319" is a furious song written as a direct response to the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, based around a sample of Floyd's rapping from his Screwed Up Click days. | |

Unexpectedly reversed in "On the Beat, Pete" from ''Absolutely" by Madness, which is a song from the point of view of a kindly Old-Fashioned Copper who helps the disabled and lost tourists, banters with criminals, and is compassionate to tramps and prostitutes. | |

"Disillusion in a Discordant System" by Acrania thanks its blistering criticism against corruption in the police force and Police Brutality. Most notable is its use of pig squeals in its ending breakdown as a metaphor for the people revolting against and killing the cops who have screwed them over for so long | |

From MDC, we have "Dead Cops", "I Remember", "Let's Kill All the Cops", "No More Cops"...among others. What else would you expect from a band most commonly referred to as "Millions of Dead Cops"? | |

"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine is one of the more well known examples of this. An anger-fueled song against police brutality, with lyrics that equate some members of law enforcement with the KKK ("Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses"). | |

"Cop Killer" from the album Body Count by Body Count, a metal group co-founded by rapper Ice-T. This song may be the most infamous and effective example of this kind of this song, and raised so much controversy at the time it was releasednote This song earned the outspoken wrath of authorities from the Fraternal Order of Police to then-President George H. W. Bush, and all but ended the band's run in mainstream media at the time that it was removed from later reissues of the album. | |
