Two days ago, a shooting at T.I.‘s concert at Irving Plaza (New York) left one man dead, alongside three more severely injured.
Yesterday – despite details and motives are still unclear – NYC Police Commissioner William Bratton expressed his resentment and despise towards the rap community, defining “so called rap artists” as “thugs that basically celebrate the violence they’ve lived all their lives and unfortunately that violence often manifests itself during the performances”.
These comments will surely not help building up the already fractured relationship between NYC’s citizens and their commissioner, who had already presided over the 90s corruption era, towards which he made inappropriate statements.
