You don't think the USA has become a police state?  Surveillance of all emails now?  Warrantless wiretapping?  Torture?  Holding US Citizens (Padilla) for years without out being charged with a crime?  This song is about how the USA shot people like Huey Newton in their bed next to his pregnant mate.  Look at how they let Filiberto Ojeda Rios drown to death in his own blood for hours instead of taking him to hospital.
