Pigs Will Pay Lyrics

Cover art for Pigs Will Pay lyrics by Propagandhi

bluetears is absolutely correct. Propagandhi is encouraging suspicion of police officers because they are illegitimate structures of authority, that basically serve to keep the status quo in a capitalist (or any) society. Who beats up protestors? Who breaks strikes? The armed muscle hired by the state. Other countries have death squads, we have pigs.

The ending of the song points out that "police brutality" is essentially meaningless, the police are inherently brutal.
