Source: Kevin Rawls / Radio One Digital Megan Thee Stallion is not trying to hear any backlash about a resurfaced tweet from 2011 where she used a homophobic slur. “Aw hell naw! This lil fa—t just pissed me off!” she wrote. The Houston hot girl said she tweeted that comment when she was in high school and the 8-year-old tweet doesn’t reflect her views today. “You going this far over a tweet from 2012?” she tweeted even though it was tweeted in 2011. “That obviously meant no harm coming from me in high school. You mfs are sick.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). The “Big Ole Freak” rapper said she previously apologized for the tweets and will not tolerate anymore criticism. “I’ve already apologized for tweets that obviously do not represent my views now. I don’t do nothing but show love to everyone so just stop.” By the looks of the replies on Twitter, her fans are far from cancelling her and it’s still going to be a hot girl summer.

Cops Kill People: Willie McCoy’s Family Balks At Report Stating 55 Shots In 3.5 Seconds Is A “Reasonable Act”

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: STRINGER / Getty Police Report Deems Shooting At Willie McCoy 55 Times “Reasonable” F**k the police . First and foremost. Now that we have that out of the way. We’ve been reporting on the police shooting death of Willie McCoy since February when Vallejo, California police found him asleep in a Taco Bell drive-thru…then killed him. According to USAToday , Willie’s family is pushing back against an janky-a$$ “independent report” that the cops drummed up in an attempt to absolve themselves of any trigger-happy wrongdoing. The report released this week found that six officers fired 55 times at 20-year-old Willie McCoy in the span of 3.5 seconds shortly after he woke up from sleeping in his car in the drive-thru lane of a Taco Bell restaurant. Attorney John Burris told USA TODAY he believed the report was irrelevant, particularly since the hired expert also deemed police had probable cause in the fatal 2018 shooting of Stephon Clark. Let that sink in. The cops went and got the SAME GUY, David Blake, who said the Stephon Clark shooting was all-to-the-good. “Officers are not required to wait until a weapon is pointed at them to take the necessary steps to save their own lives,” Blake wrote in the report, adding that their actions were “reasonable based upon my training and experience as a range instructor as well as through applied human factors psychology.” This is the system that Black and brown people are up against in America. Do anything to save a cop’s a$$. SMFH.
