	I dont thinks he's encouraging killing cops but encourage a revolt and expressing abuse of power on the part of cops. That shit that happend in Inglewood is so fucked up. Damn Nazi ass motherfuckers beating down kids with mental problems. Fuck the Police. Leftover Crack is the shit.

	i know stereotyping isn't the right thing to do and this whole generalizeation of police is getting a bit out of hand..but its more like a lot of police are dickheads and only a few r nice. you should see the way they group themselves up when theres a little celebration/festival type thing going on in lambeth...its fucking horrible, and you know they do it on purpose..they try and intimidate everyone cos they live in a working class area. a lot immigrants and arent middle class englishmen. you cant say thats not true until youve experienced and witnessed it. and ive already said..im not saying all police are assholes..but the MAJORITY are. and its true. its a fact you cant escape whether you like it or not. and my friend knew a cop and they was telling her how they know ppl who 'take ppls crack..but dont hand it in, then they'll end up with ounces of crack they use for themselves..they'll then go out and search anyone for no reason..just because they know they have the power to do it and they find it..funny.'..crack isnt the only thing they do that to either. and it wouldnt surprise me to know that was true. which it is. and you ARE judging ppl based on their opinons..you said 'anyone who likes this song is a stupid asshole and should be shot'..dont say you didnt mean it because you did..otherwise you wouldnt of said it like you did. im sorry about my dad to, but im sorry to anyone that has and will experience anything horrible with police..they have soo much power over everyone they take advantage of it and take it too far...sometimes. but u cant blame anyone for disliking police..im sure i could give a lot of examples of ppl as a whole u dislike but cant be bothrted to list them all. and if ur dad wasnt a policeman im sure u wouldnt say what u have previously said.

	hahahahahaha!!! easily angered eh? well at least i proved my point....and proved YOU to be teh ignorent one. you just keep proving me more and more right....oh and Katford kid says your mum eats shit....but i really don't care because you are nothing but a silly little girl. maybe one day you might appriciate this song...although i very much doubt it....go leave sappy notes on slipknot or nickleback or soemthing...you'll seem right at home there....cos you're such a rebel....oooh defect....oh i am so fuckign impressed....not....silly little girl....you're soo obviously not ready to play with us bigger kids yet. go crying to daddy....that's right. ohhh and i think all us leftover crack fans aggree were we ever to see you we'd kick your head in....cos we're just a bunch of addicts who deserve to be shot...haha. fucking cop's ass licker.

No Picture paste your name Average	#4 by paste your name here at Jan 24, 1988 at 4:53 PM EST
	this is a great song, but its actually a Morning Glory song. MG is Ezra's one man band, he plays everything in it, and uses a drum machine for the beats. its really really hard to get MG recordings but if you can find any, get them, all the songs are really good, especially "gang control"

	wow this is really terrible..cops aren't all that bad..my dad is one...and yeah hes the kind that goes on drug busts and takes drugs away from all you addicts. it sounds like the asshole that wrote this song is just pissed off cuz he got his crack taken away. anyone who likes this song is a stupid asshole and should be shot

	wow..unseenop...you are amazing. hehe you said it all in a few lines..wow..ha

	this song kicks ass.. it sucks for daddyslittledefect because her dad is one of the most hated things in america.

No Picture Austin Rhythm Player	#9 by Austin at Dec 21, 1993 at 3:13 AM EST
	hmm im getting pretty tired of arguing over this..it's not getting us anywhere...i guess i kinda started this whole disagreement but now i'm gonna be mature enough to stop it so how about we both stop acting like children and just end all this bullshit

No Picture Aaron Average	#10 by Aaron Smith at Aug 5, 1997 at 3:24 AM EST
	ok you are all getting very annoying and everything that you are saying about me is so very very wrong. im not judging anyone based on their opinion im just disagreeing with them some of the things that have been said are very offensive im not just gonna sit there and let you people bash police as a whole when only a few are bad that wrong and unfair so stop the stereotyping. i know what the'real world' is like trust me i've seen some really horrible fucked up shit too. what right did you have to call me homophobic...i have nothing against gay people i might have said gay but i shouldnt have and i didtn mean it so if anyone that sees this is gay i apologize. i'm sorry about what happened to your dad but like you said the world isn't all rosey and pink and not everyone is nice and friendly so don't be mad at all cops for what happened

No Picture kyle Rhythm Player	#11 by kyle perry at May 23, 1999 at 9:54 AM EST
	Wow, so much disagreement on a song. Mainly due to the one kid who happens to have the law on his side. I always thought of the law as the clergy, they pretty much shout the same bullshit at you and expect you to listen. So what do you do? Ignore them. I happen to like this song, Leftover crack makes plenty of good points about how the law system, and the workers for it, have courrupted themselves and the system. To the point of where it only turely works for them, and thoese choosing to be repressed by it are too scared to fight back due to the ill-mannaered law enforcers. But i guess that is where they get their "power", being that kind of repressive, rude, corupt person that has no worries in the abuse of their title and "powers". I want to be a cop, or someone in the government, just to find that small group of people who are willing to help in a coup d'etat ;) mwhahaha. Which i doubt, revolutionists are lacking now, and it's sad. We need change, this system is getting stale and moldy. ah well i digress from my point, good song, sorry to all thoese who lack in half of a brain to understand and enjoy such music, i suggest going back to your organized lifestyle.

No Picture Lucas Average	#12 by Lucas Gracia at Jan 22, 2000 at 11:24 AM EST
	the only thing that you proved is that you are a bitch i don't give a shit what your gay friend has to say about me and if she really wants to say something to me let her do it for herself. i'm not a little girl and you're right i will never appreciate this song because their is nothing about it to appreciate...it's crap. and no i won't seem right at home leaving notes on slipknot or nickleback because i don't like either of those bands. and whats with this rebel crap...no one ever said i was a rebel just because i stated my opinion doesn't mean im rebelling against anything..and btw 'Daddyslittle defect' is a song by sugarcult. and "you're soo obviously not ready to play with us bigger kids yet"...yeah that makes a whole lot of sense considering that im older than you asshole. and as far as im conserned you and all your other gay little leftover crack fans can go fuck yourselves

No Picture michael Wanna Be	#13 by michael Dittrich at Dec 2, 2000 at 11:52 PM EST
	wow this is really terrible..cops aren't all that bad..my dad is one...and yeah hes the kind that goes on drug busts and takes drugs away from all you addicts. it sounds like the asshole that wrote this song is just pissed off cuz he got his crack taken away. anyone who likes this song is a stupid asshole and should be shot that may be true but this song still SUCKS!!!!!!!!! THIS SONG IS CRAP..DONT LISTEN TO IT....LEFTOVER CRACK SUCKS ASS go get a life....whatever you said above is contradicting these lovely little comments....you said i deserve to be shot...well hey shoot me....and how is this not art? it's expressing a very valid opinion in a song which musically (not lyrically) is of a pretty high standard but you wouldn't know that....BECAUSE YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY NEVER HEARD IT!!! oh and why shouldn't i dare say anything that makes "those people" seem less guilty? why should you say anything making the american goverment seem less guilty? they killed more innocent people in afganistan in the first day of bombing than were killed on september 11th from the first plane crashing to this day. justify that. and your dad? lay off him? you don't want people to say anything about him then don't bring him up call leftover crack fans a bunch of addicts who should be shot....if you don't like what i'm saying then stop fucking noting on leftover crack cos you don't like them. do you see me leaving stupid childish little notes like "ooooh slipknot suck ass" do you? and what do you deserve? for once...words fail me. "so you wanna be a cop? you never stop with your wicked guns going pop after 41 shots your grinning in the donut shop your sickening behavior regulates this society and musters all the sickness & hatred inside of me" good words ezra.

No Picture Jacob Lead Player	#14 by Jacob Julian at Jun 23, 2002 at 5:25 PM EST
	can i just say that threating to 'kick your fucking ass' over the internet,,is the most fucking pathetic thing ANYONE could do..so really..u r the ignorant one. and im not saying jackshit about ur dad...ok? i didnt say 'YOU DAD IS A BASTARD' did i? NO..im saying police as a whole. ok. can i just say. my dad used to be homeless when he was younger(much younger)and cos he lived in franceand is half algerian (and the majority of his friends were coloured too)all the skin head police hated him and his friends. they fucking beat the shit out of them everyday. they even killed my dads bestfriends brother..what does that tell you and me eh? quite alot infact. im not sayng your dads an asshole for being a policemen. im not saying ur dads one of the racistdickheaded policcemen out there..no one is. your putting words into our mouths. your a bit homophobic arent you... '..gay little leftover crack fans..'///thats not a very ncie thing to say is it? no. ha. and ive seen ppl call ppl bin laden...my fucking dad. just cos he has a beard...OHMYGOD HES NOT ENGLISH. and also your a bit of a hypocrit...'just because i stated my opion doesnt mean im a rebelling..' your judging us for stating our opions..AND FACTS...your saying our heads our up our own ass'..when their not. we have no fucking respect to the majority of policemen..can i just say again..NOT ALL..but a lot..because of many reasons of above and more..so dont go round posting pathetic little insults on the net when you dont kno why we share different views from you.

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#15 by Ben Koss at Aug 29, 2005 at 8:44 PM EST
	wow thats pretty harsh..first of all i do have an understanding of art..and this is not art. and where do u get off saying that i call myself punk b/c i listen to NFG..i'm not into that whole labeling bullshit and i hardly even listen to NFG(and btw they arent really punk). and these opressed contries your so concerned about have a real shitty way of dealing with their problems..killing innocent people in other countries isnt going to slove anything.dont you dare try to make anyone involed in those bombings seem seem less guilty, what they did was wrong and totally unnecessary. you make it seem like im this small minded little princess who doesnt give a shit about anyone but herself..but you couldnt be more wrong you dont even know me what right do you have to judge me like that. lay off my dad ok...he got stuck with a shitty job for a shitty reason and he hates it. you're just as ignorant as you think that i am. but i've given up on trying to explain things to stupid people like you because i know you'll never understand. oh and i was just wondering..if this revolution ever comes..what is it exactly that i deserve?? cuz i can think of a few things you deserve :)
