I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The next time some Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackon clone comes forward and says the police aren’t doing enough to protect young black men, you are hereby required to spit right in their racebaiting faces:
Busta Rhymes has no time for the cops investigating his bodyguard’s murder – but he managed to squeeze in a West Coast trip to finish his much-hyped, self-promoting video.
The superstar rapper has stonewalled police since Israel Ramirez was gunned down outside a Brooklyn recording studio three weeks ago.
Instead of helping catch the killer, he flew to Los Angeles to complete the star-studded video for his song “Touch It (Remix).”
[...]
“The filming is now finished and it is being edited. No air date has yet been set.”
She was unable to confirm if the other big name hip hop stars featured in the video, including DMX, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige, were at the L.A. session.
Many of the stars are believed to have been only feet away when Ramirez, 29, a father of three, was fatally shot outside the Greenpoint studio. Cops believe Rhymes was with his bodyguard at the time.
But police have been blanked by witnesses, who have kept a low profile since the murder.
The Daily News revealed Friday that a secret audio recording of an argument that sparked the fatal shooting suggests the rapper saw it all.
Memo to the black, african-american rap, hip-hop, and whatever other bullshit “communities” we may identify with up above 110th Street:
If you want the police to help you, it would be nice if you ditched the whole “stop snitchin’” bullshit and started turning in criminals.
Either that or shut up about not getting results from the police. Whichever you decide, you can’t have it both ways.
Got it, brutha?
Yeah boy.
