The whole song is not anti-cop. But the second verse IS anti-cop. Well, that's how I look at it.

And Kathleen is right. The thing that pisses me off with this song is that he is merely an observer. Not a believer. Cannot stand observers.

Okay, what about the second verse? I understand it as the mother talks about how unreasonable policemen can be. Don't irritate policemen, or you may lose your life. Because policemen got guns for sure. And they may assume the worst

the 2nd verse is basically what Bruce imagines every black mother tells their kids, but dont worry, our rozzers are racist too
