Boosie Badazz has been rapping about police brutality, especially in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for as long as he’s been making music. In light of Alton Sterling‘s killing by Baton Rouge police, Boosie expresses doubt in reconciliation between the city’s police department and its citizens.
“It’s messed up what’s going on,” he says in a Snapchat video captured by TMZ. “But I been talking about what’s going on with police in Baton Rouge for a long time. Now people get to see it with their own eyes – all the injustice going on in that city. I ain’t into cops being killed, I ain’t with all that. But cops getting away with murder. They in they prime right now.”
In the past week, police across the nation have killed several unarmed individuals including Alton Sterling from Baton Rouge, Louisiana who was standing at his usual spot in front of a gas station selling CDs.
Philando Castile, a 32-year-old school worker in Falcon Heights, Minnesota who had a legal permit to carry a firearm, was gunned down by a police officer in front of his fiancée Diamond Lavish Reynolds and her four-year-old daughter during a traffic stop.
Following those deaths is that of Alva Braziel who was shot by Houston police officers who say he was firing a gun in the air and then pointed it at them. Video surveillance footage from a nearby gas station appears to show the man with his hands in the air when the police fired on him.
18-year-old Anthony Nunez and Pedro Villanueva were also gunned down by cops this week, as well as two other unarmed Latinos.
Additionally, 19-year-old Dylan Noble was shot and killed by police on camera in Fresno, California as well.
“Really it will never be peace,” Boosie continues in his Snapchat story. “Because you got too many lives that have been taken. All you can do is try to diffuse the situation. It’s too far gone.”
Boosie offers a viable solution for the injustices committed to the tax-paying citizens of America who rely on these police officers to protect them in their communities.
“I think what would slow the cops down from doing what they doing is if they start getting convicted and getting life sentences,” he says. “Double-life sentences like we get if we kill somebody,”

Maybe not try being someone who glorifies breaking the law, drugs, guns etc. That might be a good start for this idiot.
Haha exactly every culture has its person that fits some evil role role… blacks there gang bangers hispanics there cartel asians triads and yakuzas whites you got stupid ariens and crooked bankers/businesmen italians you have the mafia russians the mafia and i could go on and on and on about the dark side of every nationality and race…. it just shows all people no matter what color or creed you claim there are good people and bad people and yea when those roles are portrayed in music or movies its for ENTERTAINMENT and to give you a perspective you may lack and walk a mile in someone elses shoes in a sense people who buy too much into it are just fuckin lames just cause someone does or says something while playing a role or a persona doesnt mean its something they personaly believe in you got a spokesman who endorses crest but doesnt like it and uses colgate and bad mouths it when people ask him but why does he do it? A PAYCHECK! same reason those rappers or actors will say or do shit they dont agree with everyday as long as it lines there bank accounts with , , , , , ‘s same reason robert de niro ray liotta and joe pesci did good fellas and pesci and de niro did casino for the money anyone who believes anything differents fucking stupid…
Ahh but you you probably love good fellas and shit like that lol wait let me guess it’s just entertainment.
I agree with himm 100% on this shit gotta diffuse the situation and just keep exposing it and bringing it to light and as it continues just like when crime sprees run rampant stricter laws are enforced so the same thing needs to happen with these police they want to keep actting how they do and take lives then there lifes need to be taken via life sentences and in certain states death sentences not just loss of a job or a pension thats not enough….
Its entertainment, when scarface and the outsiders came out yall didn’t call it glorifying you called it art….black people come up with a way to tell there story, yall call it glorifying violence. It don’t stop, we cant get a break, yall always try to put it back on us….im just gonna start ignoring these idiots!!!!! BOOSIE aint worse than scarface or the outsiders or Moulin rouge or any of that stuff yall call art!! its a matter of what color the person is doing the art determines if its art ot glorifying violence???
