The song is about police brutality centering around riots in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland about racial discrimination and police beatings and shooting of people of color all over the states, Way too many wellness checks and mental health calls that involve police end in the person who needed help being tasered or shot to death. The violence, abuse and harassment that happens to marginalized people all over Canada. Transit cops are just as bad if not worse. They've arrested and beaten people for being short on fare, they sometimes bring dogs to bark, growl and scare people and they turn refugees into border services which has resulted in people being deported back to horrible war torn places. No one is illegal !!
Both choruses in the song are chants from the riots and protests.
Over the past 10,000 years every form of police have been the face of corruption and violent repression towards the people they swore to protect. Nothing more than hired mercenaries protect and serve the upper class and their business interests. in the process causing more crime they ever claim to solve.
no justice no peace fuck the police x3
those who forget history are destined to repeat it
there is no fate but what we make for ourselves
open your eyes and break your chains
strong community will destroy it's oppressors
hands up don't shoot x3
violently beat, harass, intimidate, imprison and even murder people and get away with it because you have a badge and a gun. Police related shootings and tasering deaths happen more often than you think. You don't have to look hard to find it. From the murders of black people in, Baltimore, Ferguson, minnesota and all across the states to the shootings deaths of mentally ill people right here in our own backyard or just the fact our public transit system is patrolled by armed officers sometimes with dogs who've on many occasions: deported refugees, tormented mentally ill, arrest and beat poor people for not being able to afford the correct fare. This is not justice it's dictatorship.
It's said that you can tell alot about a society by how it treats it's most vulnerable. As a society we have a lot of work to do.
