Cop Killer is not a request for action, its a story of what is really happening. It's a commentary that this is what's going on in East LA for instance, this is what kids are talking about. It tells us that something is wrong, and Ice-T knew that it would be hard to deal with just as Jonathan Swift knew that A Modest Proposal (its an intelligent social commentary about poor people eating their baby's to have food and cut down population) would shock the world, because that's what it takes to make a difference in this bull headed world.

You will find a strong and hard to deal with point like this in Art, because Art cuts right to ones heart and soul. When you start splitting hairs about PC and legislative bullshit, you take it completely out of context. Art, in any form, is not objectionable, it is Life. If you don't agree, then either you can't admit this (presumable bad things) is going on in you world, or that the object of inspection is not Art but crued entertainment which by definition is driven by the market not its meaningful value.

My whole hearted and thoughtful position is that Cop Killer is Art.

Now that I've spewed, I'll go back and read the thread... (well said Sheye)
