It was written by Bob Marley, which would explain its anti-police attitude. In addition to the wikipedia article, here's some more information, in a blog format with comments:

I think Bob Marley wrote this song. Look him up on google or something. I know it's a reggae song. It has something to do with racism I think.
Great choice!! Great Music!!! I think a few different groups have released versions of that song. It might be interesting to add which ones to your essay.
