Put guns to her head, every word she got hit
"Who shot the trooper?" they asked her

from Common (Ft. Cee-Lo Green) – A Song for Assata Lyrics on Rap Genius

She was interrogated from her hospital bed, the people who interrogated her hit her for the answers she gave. They asked her “Who shot the Trooper?”, referring to Trooper Werner Forrester, who was involved in the shootout and was shot twice in the head and killed.
