The 'Fuck The Police' (FTP) meme is rooted in the seminal 1988 protest song by the hip-hop group N.W.A, which addressed systemic police brutality and racial profiling. Over the decades, the phrase transitioned from a serious political slogan into a popular internet image macro, often used ironically. In its meme form, the text is typically paired with images of animals or people performing very minor, harmless acts of defiance—such as a cat sitting on a 'No Pets Allowed' sign or someone walking on grass despite a warning. This juxtaposition between the aggressive slogan and the triviality of the 'crime' creates a humorous take on rebellion and the defiance of authority.
