In honor of the death of the police officer due to "friendly" fire. Apparantly some white cops shot a black cop in the back that they thought was a criminal ..
I wrote this blog 2 years ago and it made its way around the blogestsphere
Awwww Poor Lil' Piglets… Last week on Get It Poppin' Radio aka Da G.I.P., the discussion of the night turned towards the Police and why I hate the police so much.. and always say "See-A-Cop Pop-A-Cop". People that follow my career as a rapper, radio host and now by default, "activist" (What up Jessie Jess) know why I say what I say. I am tired of the constant police brutality that plagues the average citizen (Black or White) in this country. How many times do you hear about police beating up an innocent person, the rape of an innocent woman, the shooting of an unarmed innocent person for no reason in an excessive manner?
This needs to stop!
So on my show I defended my stance of killing cops and my argument is this: First of all, I do not advocate murder in any form unless it's self defense and even then, if you could incapacitate your attacker without killing them do so. But I do say if someone with a mental illness feels the need to commit random acts of violence I only ask that they limit their attacks to police officers. Simply put I feel it is poetic justice.
Now people say not all cops are bad. This is true, but as an organization, the Police Department nurtures a culture of abuse of power and lawlessness. Even during sentencing of crimes such as "Murder", "Drunk Driving", "Robbery" the years of service of an officer is taken into account and many times they receive a lesser sentence then your average citizen. Is this fair?
The Police Credo is "To serve and protect" but who are they serving? Not I! The one time I actually needed the police, the "service" was horrible. I reported my car stolen at 3PM .. (not to mention it was actually 2:00 when I went to the precinct and I sat there in line with no one else online behind or in front of me, mind you, for 10 minutes until this officer asked with an attitude; "How can I help you?" and then instructed me to return to the scene of the crime and call 911) … So I placed the call at 3PM and when did they show? 12 midnight.. and had the unmitigated gall to ask me and I quote "Who Stole Your Car??" lol
So I went on my rant last week (at Valentine & D.W.I.'s urging) and to be honest, of course it was a lil' to the far left for entertainment value.. (I am a Shock jock now lol) So now we have a few angry police officers or family or friends of police officer are threatening Da G.I.P. ahahah First Amendment Bitches!!!!
I mean, I have met a few cops who are decent people, my best friend and brother from another mother has been trying for 10 years to join the force (Why cause he is to quote Marc, a "Dumb-Ass") but .. How can you in good conscience join an organization with a history of abuse on the very same people they are supposed to protect? How many times (and this is for my hood people) have you known someone to be murdered and the case goes unsolved and the streets generally have to handle it.
Why is that? (For argument sake, is it because the streets handle it? Another debate perhaps) Why is it that the precinct is, let's say, between 7th & 8th Avenues and you have prostitution on 8th and the crack spot on 7th? They get a piece of that folks.. (New slang if it don't make sense it makes dollars) A few police officers now want to debate me on the radio (cool I invite that) others want to arrest me but admittedly can't again ahhahaha First Amendment Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man Listen.. My job is to invoke thought and debate and I'm glad now that everyone who was hating and calling for my death and or incarceration will be tuning in next week to see what I have to say next. But to the punk police.. I say take a good hard look at your own selves and organizations and ask yourself, why would so many people that are law abiding, hate you and your fellow officers so much.. See what you are really mad at is.. I am your worst nightmare ..
1) I have no record
2) I don't do any drugs
3) I am college educated
4) I am a Tax Payer
5) And In Entertainment
6) Can't forget this.. I'M BLACK
What can you say.. to me.. No, I'm not a criminal so when I say "pop a cop" it's scary because I'm an average Joe.. One of them people that our Middle East Friends Hates for their apparent freedom.. I would say this to Bin Laden and the boys.. If you hate us for our freedom, you need to pick of a new reason to hate us.. But we do still have the Freedom of Speech (so I can say "Pop a Cop") and of the Freedom of The Press.. (So I can say "Pop a Cop" on Radio) .. you gotta love America…
