"Cop Killer is the perfect way of putting over the idea that any worthwhile political or artistic agenda should be seeking an undoing of the situation as it stands. Whether the status quo is a political state or a musical language, the idea should be to kill or overthrow that. The song's not about killing a human being, but about overcoming inhumanity; destroying the machinery that turns us toward an end other than ourselves."

I like this quote, and it goes along well with the appearance of John Lydon/Johnny Rotten in the video, who, as an artist represents this "cop-killing" outlook Maus describes.

My God, he looks so normal with his conventional suit and long hair. Almost looks like a Young Tim Roth.
