This is the new M.I.A. video everyone’s been talking about since YouTube pulled it last week. It’s by the same chap who made the censor-baiting “Stress” video for Justice, and it’s an equally unsafe for work mini-feature on state brutality. The song itself is a direct lift from Suicide‘s “Ghost Rider”, right down the the rewritten reverb-ridden vocals – and it’s great.
