Talk:Cop Killer (song)

message: "In contrast to his earlier views of law enforcement, Ice T has played the role of a police officer in several movies and television shows, including New Jack City and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit."
in "contrast" to his "earlier" "VIEWS"?  first of all, the lyrics of "Cop Killer" aren't his "views."  it's an angry persona song.  they hysteria over it is ridiculous.  secondly, New Jack City was completely finished filming by june 1990 (released in 1991 I think), which i think was BEFORE the release of Body Count?
so if his acting roles as police officers is in contrast to anything-- which i don't think it is--  it's not in contrast to his "earlier" "views."
i'd change the wiki myself but some fool will probably change it back immediately.
I took out the Charlton Heston "irony" due to historic and mechanical inaccuracies.  RegBarc
Um, "white boy Clapton" wasn't the first to record "I Shot The Sheriff" unless my musical knowledge is totally off. What happened to Bob Marley? (quick comment, they did mention Bob Marley)
This part is a quote. I just indented it to make this clearer. Brianski 02:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Should probably be trimmed entirely. NPOV does not mean one POV half of the time and another the other half of the time. I'm adding a NPOV tag until those sections are deleted or changed into text not written from the POV of arguing for or against the song. savidan(talk) (e@) 01:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the arguments section is now just more or less a series of straight quotes, from both sides of the argument, I'm going to remove the NPOV tag, since there's barely any room for bias on the part of the Wiki editors, unless it's in the selection of the quotes. If the person who put it here wants to explain here exactly which sections are biased and why, then go ahead.  I am at a loss to work out which side the anonymous editor thinks the article is biased towards. Merely presenting two sides of an argument doesn't in itself constitute a bias.--Aim Here 05:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The arguments sections 

message: I have two questions. In the quotes section Dennis Martin states that "the Body Count album containing Cop Killer was shipped throughout the United States in miniature body bags". Was this the case? Secondly, was Cop Killer released as a single, and if so did it chart anywhere? Is it available in any official form today? Ashley Pomeroy 20:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The article shouldn't give the full lyrics of the song. An excerpt or two should be fine, but not the whole thing. It's a copyright problem. Everyking 04:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I feel the trivia section is redundant and is essentially useless. It mentions 3 cover bands and nothing else, it's of no relevant information.70.49.252.14 02:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia, nescesssary?  

message: Is this sentence supposed to be contained within the quotation? Or is it just a stray thought? If the latter, it should be deleted.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DrDeke (talk • contribs). 
the first sentence of the article is essentially plagiarized from the Ice T quote that appears later in the article.  Changing a word or two is not good enough. Check your freshman composition handbook.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.21.97 (talk) 14:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: In other words, is 'cop killer' objectionable in some sense that other, similarly themed songs are not? And if so, why?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed references to Tipper Gore as a critic of the song.  If you actually read the Washington Post article being cited you'll notice that it was written in 1990, before the release of Bodycount and that the article itself is criticizing a different earlier Ice-T song called "The Iceberg," which had a rape reference in it.  If someone has a different source for her criticizing the actual "Cop Killer" song by all means re-add it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roadshell (talk • contribs) 05:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
