Polish Oi/Punk band ;

And Kohu-63 with Poliisit on verisii persereikii

Seriously, all you need to do is put "Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing" on repeat

And if you have room for a poster and some sarcasm:

There´s a bunch of german punk outfits dealing with this topic,
so if you look for such stuff, add:
Slime - "Polizei SA/SS", Boskops - "Können Schweine Schwimmen?" and tons more...

p.s. this brings back some fine memories from angry youthtimes

Girlschool: Emergency
Saxon: Strong arm of the law
Killer: In the name of the law
Lethal Aggression: Cuntry Pig
Sick Of It All: Injustice system
Razar: Task force
Headcleaners: Police perversities

Exploited - Cop Cars
Cockney Rejects - Police Car
Savage Grace - Master of Disguise

I can only think of these two:

Suicidal Tendencies - Fascist Pig
1000 Homo DJs - Hey Asshole

Actually if you would live here it would be kinda boring, 'cause 90% Argentinean Metal bands have at least 1 song against the police. Actually most have 1 song per album, is a total cliché here but I won't reccomend any song since most of them suck, both lirically and musically.

Shitlickers "Sprackta Snutskallar"!!!!! ("Cracked Cop Skulls")
AK47 "The Badge Means You Suck"
Raw Power "Police, Police"
....
and of course
SECRET METAL "The Cop"!!!!!

There's like a million more punk songs about cops but these are some of the best ones....

Sorry to any law enforcers who may be members on the board who feel aggrieved by this thread, but as the saying goes, "Pig 'til proven cop".

didn't see it answered but isn't "Crime Pays" by Christ on a Krutch?
and Police Bastard was by Doom....a few of the guys in the band started a new band w/that exact name, Police Bastard if I am correct.

Wow! Lots of info to sift through, as well as a whole lotta songs which i can't believe i didn't think of. "Pig Is A Pig" by The Plasmatics, "Fascist Pig" by Suicidal Tendencies and "Strong Arm Of The Law" by Saxon, in particular had me kicking myself.
I'm actually surprised that there aren't more specifically anti police songs by Metal bands, i guess that lyrically as a genre we tend to keep the rebellion a little more general and non-specific in the main.
Many thanks to everyone for their help, and a special mention to jman for identifying Christ On A Krutch as the band who recorded "Crime Pays When Pigs Die", that was driving me crazy, thank you. I could have googled the title, but was a little wary of doing so, might have got me a personal visit from the boys in blue, and i could do without the aggrivation.

Yeah, I think Metal always kept it more general and sometimes more metaphorical (if that word exists). There's not many Metal songs with names of politicians, for example, like Punk songs. When dealing about rebellion Metal was a bit more mature I think, and I absolutely love Punk, but sometimes the lyrics were too much "heat of the moment". That's why rebellion anthems like "Victims Of State Power" and "Breaking The Law" are timeless.
