Trending on BillboardIce-T’s tweaking the lyrics of Body Count’s politically-charged “Cop Killer” to “ICE Killer” during a Warped Tour performance last July was by pure instinct.
It’s time to play ‘Cop Killer’ and my brain just said, ‘Do ‘Ice Killer.” But of course, when the girl [Renee Good] got killed, they bring that press to the front.
“You know ‘ICE Killer,’ ‘Cop Killer’ it’s really protest,” Ice-T explained.
Like I said, I think we’re headed in some very ugly terrain and Black people ain’t got nothing to do with it.
The confrontation began when Pretti attempted to help a woman thrown to the ground by an ICE agent.
