I mean, how do you expect police to react to rappers wanting to kill them? Police get scared too!
The song 'cop killer' was already being performed in high-profile concerts in 1991- a year before the incident of police brutality in 1992. It was all over the news!
And the song made it famous that rappers wanted to kill cops. Everyone knows these days that rappers want to kill cops.
And the song was not 'Bad cop killer', it was 'cop killer'. It wasn't threatening only bad cops.
And when 'cop killer' was written, cops didn't come after people like Ice-T because they were 'Black', they came after people like Ice-T because they were gangsters! Or trying to be gangsters! Trying very hard to convince people that they were gangsters! And it was people like Ice-T who were telling all the 'Black' people to be gangsters!
All this police brutality was started by 'cop killer'! Cops get scared! Our police are stressed out enough without rappers threatening their life! They're only human! Cops die too! Cops get scared!
What do you think is gonna happen if you start telling the world you wanna kill cops? The cops will get scared!
And how many incidents of police violence against 'Blacks' are there, anyway? A few? There are literally tens of millions of 'Black' people in the United States! There are probably over a million cops in the United States! There are literally millions of cops and 'Black' people who interact without hurting each other!
Police brutality is horrible, but only love can stop the cycle of violence! We need to speak out against 'cop killer' songs in rap music!
We need to show love to scared cops too! Because only love will defeat fear! Because love will make the cops feel less scared! And that will stop the cycle of violence because the cops will be less scared! Love is the answer to all this mess!
That said, just because the 'system' is not to blame does not mean the 'system' cannot be part of the solution. I believe in racial sensitivity training for our cops!
But remember, it has to be done out of love- love is the answer! And done right, racial sensitivity training for our cops can be a way of giving love to our cops as well as to 'Black' people. Giving both sides the loving support they so badly need right now! Love is the answer!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
One more thing though- all this police brutality is also caused by Donald Trump setting a bad example.
Cops are stressed out because of Donald Trump!
Only it wasn't Donald Trump who said they wanted to kill cops, so it isn't Donald Trump's people they are most scared of!
We need to get rid of him and put him in jail for his crimes!
Once Donald Trump is gone, police brutality will go down to 1998 levels.
But to improve upon that, we have to speak out against the original cause- 'cop killer' songs in rap music!
Only love can end the cycle of violence!
And thank you, Jacob Blake for offering up love in response to the horrible thing that happened to you!
Because of you there is great hope!
(too bad they have buried your love videos!)
Love can end the cycle of violence!
Sincerely (again),
David S. Annderson
