C.O.P. (Criminals Of Permission) by J-Jon is a powerful and intense song that addresses the issue of police brutality and the abuse of power by law enforcement officers. The lyrics highlight various incidents where innocent individuals were mistreated or killed by the police. The song begins with news reports about police violence, including cases where a man was beaten to death in Oklahoma, a man with asthma died after being put in a chokehold, an unarmed 18-year-old was shot multiple times, and an NYPD officer was convicted of raping a school teacher. J-Jon then expresses his anger and frustration towards the police, criticizing them for their actions while protecting their own badges. He points out the injustice of the system, highlighting that if he were to commit murder, he would face a severe punishment, while a police officer might only be suspended for the same crime. The lyrics emphasize the disregard for human life and the destruction caused by the police. They call for accountability and equality, reminding officers that they are supposed to protect, not instill fear or harm the citizens they serve. J-Jon appeals for a change in the use of excessive force and the treatment of minorities. Towards the end of the song, J-Jon warns that the situation could escalate if people start fighting back against police brutality. He urges the police commissioner to intervene and addresses the overarching question of what makes the police different from regular criminals if they commit crimes themselves with permission. The song ultimately raises awareness about the issue of police violence and calls for justice and equality within the law enforcement system. It aims to shed light on the need for change and accountability, urging listeners to take action and advocate for reform.
