Wasn't meant to be highly controversial? Songs about banging a Grand Dragon's daughter at a KKK rally, shooting cops "in their motherfucking face," and killing your mother aren't meant to be controversial? The album was delivered to record stores in body bags for god's sake.

Ice T was under pressure to pull the song, but ultimately he decided to pull it out because the controversy was eclipsing the rest of the album, I believe Cop Killer was then released as a seperate single.
I didn't see the album as controversial at the time, KKK Bitch and Mamma's Gotta die tonight, just struck me as obnoxious hardcore punk lyrics being brought forth into the mainstream. If memory serves me correct, Ice T and his crew use to go to LA punk gigs when he was younger. Cop Killer just became unexpectedly "hugely" controversial.
Anyways, time to bury the Body Count and move on.
