Lil Bibby says that police officers throughout the United States need to be shown a level of respect.
During a recently published interview with VladTV, the Chicago artist revealed that in the past, he has received a little “slack” from the police as he showed them a level of respect, the same, however, cannot be said about some of his associates.
“The police, they cut me some slack, man, because I know how to talk,” Lil Bibby says. “My homies, they just come off disrespectful though. The police, they mess with us for no reason but my homies, they be disrespectful. I think if you know how to speak to an officer, they’ll cut you a little slack or at least they’ll respect you a little bit more. If you come off disrespectful—the officers, they be broke as fuck, man. They ain’t really get paid no money. We walking around with big-ass nuts in our pockets [and] officers be pissed off about that, man. They get paid close to minimum wage and they gotta drive around in a hot-ass car—they be pissed off so I think you gotta show them a little bit of respect, man. They got these shitty jobs, they don’t get to fuck none of the bad bitches, man. They be hating, man, so just show them a little respect and think of that sometimes.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Lil Bibby weighed in on the widely-discussed notion of police officers wearing body cameras.

“I don’t know, man, these cops, they got so much shit up they sleeve they probably know how to put a mute button on that muthafucka and do they thing [laughs],” he says. “So I don’t know, man, ain’t no telling what they got going.”
