Straight Edge - Catologue of Injustice Lyrics

March 3rd 1991: Man beaten badly while others sat and watched
But the criminal this time sadly was a cop
If keeping the peace means beating black men
Then I guess justice doesn't shine through in everything

2009: MA police officer accused of raping whores
Getting screwed in the backseats and behind closed doors
Freedom of speech shouldn't be in the form of rape
Anyone should know this is more than we can take...

No rights till your crippled, or on you death bed
Just fights fighting unarmed soon to be dead
How can you expect us to treat others right
When the cops are killing and enforcing plight

Lowell police stealing money and TV's
Getting rich off the ones in the street
Call them peacemakers, call em' what you like
But I think now is the time to finally strike

Police arresting black women, calling them bitches
Keeping the peace till everyone's dead in ditches
We don't know their secrets and we don't know there tricks
But there's no difference between 911 and 336

1999, a black man outside his Bronx home shot 41 times by plain clothes police officers. Amadou Diallo was killed, and when the police officers were brought to trial, they were all acquitted. All acquitted
