Pro-censorship forces and politicians cite false scientific studies to force this idea on others; however, there is no real evidence that this is true ("Freedom of Expression” 3).

There were also appeals to boycott all Time Warner media from the Dallas Police Association and Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas, as well as requests for the song to be banned by Los Angeles Police Commission (Sieving 1998). Despite such claims, in the defence of Body Count is the First Amendment and the protection…
