Irvington, New Jersey police officer Maurice Gattison, who goes by the stage name “Gat The Great,” has found himself under investigation due to several music videos the cop/rapper released last year. Gattison, who also serves as president of Irvington’s police union, joins three other police officers who were also singled out thanks to the music videos and are under investigation as well.
“There’s a lot of other things that could be dealt with if you wanted to do an article,” Gattison revealed to The Star-Ledger. “Not what I’m doing in my personal life just singing a song.”
Gattison’s lawyer, Anthony Iacullo, is confident that there will be no charges filed against his client since he believes Gattison was merely exercising his first amendment right.
“He is someone who has chosen to express himself through the song in lyrics that you have heard. It is his constitutional right to in fact do so,” said Iacullo. “He has exercised his first amendment rights and we anticipate that there will be no charges, criminally or departmentally.”
As of now it is unclear what repercussions Gattison could face given the results of the investigation against him.

I overheard my boss, Birdman, talking about possibly signing these guys. Down here at YMCMB we hate NJ police, and having one of theirs on the roster would be a great way to stick it to them.
Good joke. That actually makes no sense at all.

‘some comment about rick ross’
if officer ricky can make it happen why the fuck not?
i dont get it..whats he under investigation for?
He’s an active duty police office and president of a police union…who moonlights as a gangsta rapper. Not a good look for the police department he still represents.
^officer
i checked out his music on the star-ledger page and the shit is wack as fuck
hey he isn’t bad. “I’m a felon for life / don’t make me fruit-cup your melon tonight”
Ross made police officers everywhere think they could drop an album that would do numbers
Ross changed the game, dang!
wtf has the world come 2 where cops rap and make videos lmaooo are you stupid
shits been going on for years. rick ross made this shot acceptable
For 40bucks he could have had a guest appearance from Tory Gassoway aka 40glocc.
OFFICER RICKY SHOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF HIP HOP YEARS AGO
Hold ya head mane. The first few months are always the hardest. “It Gets Better”. Bawse.
Least this guy is honest about being a cop. Kind of sad how you brag about being a drug lord when the only thing you run is a cell block with a few other COs.
Haven’t bumped his shit though (the cop’s) so can’t give an opinion if he’s putting on a persona either, but whatever
I know what’s coming next: the actor who played carl winslow from family matters is gonna form a supergroup with rick ross & gatt the great and call themselves boys in blue.
Mmmmmmmmaybach Music!!!!!!!!! Home of the fake !
I went and checked him out on youtube. Couldn’t find anything wrong with his lyrics until he stated “I’m a felon for life” we know that’s a lie.
Shit was CORNY!!
Is that WC’s father?
