Wow,the internet has removed people's ability to recognize when someone is being ridiculous on purpose.

The one sign in the video I loved was GIULIANI IS A RACIST. I disagree, though. Giuliani is just an asshole. I'm just glad his presidential campaign never got off the ground. I can't imagine if he were the nominee, let alone became president. Fuck Giuliani.

The two officers approaching him told him repeatedly to stop and show his hands. They didn't know until after that he had a stutter and may have tried to say something&that he spoke so little English that he didn't understand. When the first officer fell and his shots ricocheted, the other officer thought it was Diallo shooting so he emptied his clip. 41 shots were fired. Not all 41 hit Diallo. I'm not saying it was right,I just don't think either party was at fault. It was tragic nonetheless.

This song is much more subtle than just criticism of cops. It criticises society as whole.In Bruce' view, the cops are almost as much victims as the guy who got shot.
"Is it a gun? is it a knife? is it a wallet? This is your life. It ain't no secret, no secret my friend, you can get killed just for living in your American skin"
Not only innocent civilians get shot. Also cops.

He didn't exactly choose who to use in the song. It was based off of an actual incident, in which the NYC police shot a recent immigrant 41 times on the steps of his own home because they "thought he was a threat" (he later turned out to be totally innocent).
