Scarface addresses the recent spate of police related violence with VladTV.
Brad “Scarface” Jordan addressed the incident in Brooklyn, New York which led to the death of two NYPD officers at the hands of a civilians in a Vlad TV interview posted today (December 22).
“Bro, they takin shit too far now,” the Geto Boys rapper says in the video. “I’m looking at the footage that was shot on the cell phones and uploaded to the social media, and I’m like, ‘Damn, did some more shots go off when they were down?’ What the fuck is going on? That’s crazy, bro.”
A Sunday New York Times article describes the cop killings as an ambush.
“The man, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, circled the car — No. 4324 — parked just off Myrtle Avenue before approaching from behind,” the New York Times reports. “He fired four shots through the closed window of the passenger side and fled, pursued by two Consolidated Edison utility workers who happened to witness the attack. Both officers died in the fusillade, which roiled a city already on edge from weeks of protests over police practices.”
In light of the recent controversy over the lack of indictment in the death of Eric Garner at the hands of an NYPD officer, and the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri, police action has been highly scrutinized and protested throughout the country.
“I don’t know if I should say innocent and police officers in the same sentence,” Scarface says in the interview. “But you got to look at it like this: if you are a Black man and you are armed, you a thug. If you Middle Eastern and you armed, you a terrorist. If you are Mexican and you are armed, you are a gang banger. If you are White and you armed, then you are exercising your second amendment.”
Scarface said he was in agreement with a concept from Tupac’s “I Don’t Give A Fuck,” which was discussed in the interview.
“He said that right, every police department is probably the biggest gang of niggaz in the city,” Scarface says. “Nobody’s scared of the gang. I’ll say it again, it was one, armed assailant that did that. They got to stop that before it turns into something else. Bro that’s heavy."
Scarface’s says next project Deeply Rooted will drop “unexpectedly” and that a book will accompany it.
He says that he feels sad for all of the families who have lost love ones.
“Death is permanent, you feel me,” Scarface says. “I hate to here that a family lost a loved one, you know, either side the police side or the civilian side. At the end of the day I can say this and this is what I live by and die by… Every man will fight the war that he deserves. That’s my start and my finish."
