I find it funny that some of these rappers, particuarly Cassidy, Drag on and Styles P often rap about such topics has Packing, Slingin, shooting killing, robbin,dealing, and especially beating the case, who do they choose now it is an good time to change there attiutdes on this topic? shouldnt they be happy that the cops beat the case? or do they only care about “justice” when the supposed victim is of there own race? so sad.

I don’t know about the rest but Cassidy was only protecting his family he served his time.Also he apologised to Desmond Hawkins the victims family. How is it right to fire 50 shots the only reason they got away with it is because they were cops. An average person would have no defense for 50 shots. I don’t even know how they got off they were working undercover that night so its not like he knowingly tried to escape from the pigs bc he didnt know who they were.

Im not sure, from what I read in the paper they did indentify themselves as cops and as a result they almost got ran over by sean bell and his thug frenids trying to flee the scene, weret the cops protecting themselves the same way cassidy was protecting his family?

No they said they did but the victims said they didnt so really its like their word against the others. For real do you think Sean Bell woud have tried to escape if he knew they were cops he was getting married in the morning and had two beautiful baby girls. Cassidy was protecting his family the other people had guns Sean Bell, Trent Benefield & Joseph Guzman had none. Just the usual police brutality but one of the worse cases.
