This song does not want to say, that every human behind the proffession of a cop is an asshole. You could be a caring Mother or a affectionate father, but especially the police is representing a occupational group, where you are able to see, how power is corrupting people. As representing the executive part of state authority they're in control of how to enforce their orders. Under the pretex of their profession a high number of cops abusing people and mostly get away with it. Rather one more punch in the face, a racist or sexual assault, when there're no consequences to fear. As long as a cops testimony is always superior to the ones of the people he grabbed, there can be no justice. No friends no helpers – still hating cops!
All these comments can just be understood as a shortened attempt to clarify the intentions that underlying the songs. Of course these topics are much too complex to be broken down into a few sentences.
lyrics
As the camera jams – they appear with clubs waving
smashing your face in – while you're just their fuckin' plaything
I hate cops
racist fucks
I hate cops
I hate cops
With a batterd face – you've been charged and they had their fun
there will always be - one more officer to witness what you've done
I hate cops
sadistic creeps
I hate cops
I hate cops yeah
They bend justice - through their eyes
clear cut issues - turn to lies
A whole profession is bound to - esprite de corps with swollen pride
No one's there to judge you - when the judge is on your side
