"Cop Killer" is a song by American heavy metal band Body Count. Released on the group's 1992 self-titled debut album. The song's lyrics about "cop killing" were criticized by President of the United States George H. W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle. Ice-T has called "Cop Killer" a "protest record". He eventually recalled the album and rereleased it without the song.
