50 Shots + Any Cop

from Ruido Debajo Del Puente by Eskera

/

lyrics

They take your rights, those fucking cop's.
They control and oppress, predisposed to deceit.
Abusing the power to serve and protect.
How many more people will have to end up dead?
Beat up and abused, battered and bruised,
fearing the man with a badge, the big boys in blue
who don't know fear, have no repercussions
to their acts of hatred, abuse, and violence.
Police brutality; it's not tied to just one nation.
It's become a bigger problem, it's a worldwide situation
from the European continent, Mexico, to the USA,
it's an issue happening around the globe every single day.
More people being killed, more piggies seeking thrills.
No unjust death should go unpunished when cops have the right to kill.
Take a trip back to 1999, Amadou Diallo,
an African immigrant, was shot 41 times for fitting the description
of a rapist who was wanted.
When asked for identification, 4 cops gunned him down,
based on the assumption that Diallo had pulled a weapon, he was reaching for his wallet.
The cops got to walk away acquitted of their charges.
Diallo, another casualty of the fucked up scales of justice.
50 shots plus any cop equals murder.
Eddie Franco, a homeless 56 yr. old
was brutally gunned down by 8 cops who didn't know
or cared to figure out if his gun had ammunition.
47 shots had to be fired to finally dismiss him.
7 years later, after the Diallo incident
50 shots were fired by more undercover pigs.
2 men injured, Sean Bell would end up dead
not because of a crime, once more because of fucked up policemen.
