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.”

prolly 1 of the realest shit i’ve ever read in awhile
Co-Sign x 1000
Scar face is one of my all time favorite rappers, but I have to disagree with that statement. I’m black, I stay armed, I’m not a thug. I’ve had run ins with the laws while I was armed, I’ve never had any problems. I let them know I’m armed, they check my license and send me on my way. I get what he’s trying to say, but it’s not right to put law abiding citizens (of any color) in those categories.
@Damond, Consider yourself highly fortunate. The fact is, Scarface ain’t wrong. No one ever said it was right. It ain’t right. It never was, but it is the state of affairs sadly.
I love Facemob, but honestly that was the realest Bullshit I ever heard. Truth is the majority of blacks and Hispanics in inner cities purchase their firearms illegally where most whites go through the process. Yall gon prolly disagree but it’s true. I gotta K and and AR but I bought both of them bitches at the gun store. Only took a day even with 2 misdemeanors. I love my people but we do things the wrong way!
Consider yourself highly fortunate that the cops didn’t kill you because a RACIST law enforcement would have you, hispanics, arabs 6 feet under ground and they wouldn’t even be sent 2 prison
how stupid are you. the difference is the white cop has a license and a permit, another stupid ignorant black person
Its honestly sad how dumb most of you are. I love hip hop but these idiot rappers have no idea what they are talking about. They are not intelligent and should not even be speaking about this. I swear you all just make yourselves look so stupid. How about this….. shut the fuck up and listen to what a cop tell’s you to do, or are you guys all that stupid and can’t understand that
Please quietly step away from your keyboard and take a deep breath. Their you go feel better now “irrelevant internet poster” .
Jeez, A BUNCH of people with bad comprehension replied to this -_- He’s talking about The IMAGE people have about different races being armed…less emotion more intellect people please.
How in the world can so many miss the obvious context of the comment is the perfect example of why things get out of hand like they are right now in this country Lack of Understanding breeds fear breeds anger breeds stupidity
finally someone intelligent says something.
Dx this is a recycled article that you showed a month ago
if CNN shows you a arab with a gun, he’s a terrorist
if they show you a mexican with a gun, he’s a drug lord from some cartel
if they show you a black man with a gun, he’s a blood, crip, thug
get the picture now? nobody is talking about you in personal or your fucking licensce to have a gun, Face is on some real G shit.
Right!
So get a permit
“If you are White and you armed, then you are exercising your second amendment.” The difference between these cases? The white person has a license and permit.
LOL Amen my dude.How true.
I got my license and permit
so not having a piece of papper makes you a thug
being too lazy to go get said piece of paper does
