Wow that was pretty shitty if you ask me - at least they made him apologize

http://nypost.com/2017/07/11/teen-blasted-f-k-tha-police-during-slain-officers-funeral/

A Bronx teen defiantly blasted the NWA song “F— Tha Police” out his third-floor apartment window Tuesday as thousands of cops were gathered below to mourn slain cop Miosotis Familia — prompting a house call from about 20 officers.

That teen's funeral is scheduled next week.

 

[Vinsanity.]

Disgusting

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

he apologized cause his landlord made him or he'd kick them out.

he kicked them out later on regardless.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

”Since they did not show respect for my brother and my friend, why should I show respect to them?" the teen told The Post

I'd love to hear more about this. Probably not a smart move though . . .

 

[psynergylover]

That was not wise at all...

Good!

 

[op_ivy]

At least it wasn't Ice T fronted Body Count's "Cop Killer". Now that would have been tasteless

 

[NoRéN]

Way to get you family kicked out, dumbass.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Nothing wrong with being an asshole but at least have the balls to stick to it.
He ain't got shit to apologize for but noise complaints.

he apologized cause his landlord made him or he'd kick them out.

he kicked them out later on regardless.

That makes more sense but who's gonna police the landlord now for going back on his word?

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I'm mean I have plenty of criticism of the police but a funeral isn't the time or place to be a god damned edge lord.

Landlord can kick someone out for that??

Well racial profiling is an issue in NYC but of course that doesn't mean he should go pick a fight.

 

[JKM78613]

Confirmed: teenagers suck sometimes.

He's had family members and friends killed by police, supposedly. Seems to be more than that for him.

Not that it makes this okay.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Not a good look

 

[ThisGuy]

The young man, who identified himself as Julien Rodriguez, 16, said it was “satisfying” to play the song on repeat from his apartment on East 188 Street, claiming that his older brother and best friend were unjustifiably killed by cops.

16 year old boy who is upset. Kind of explains the anger.

 

[Funyarinpa]

Kid is an asshole from the looks of it, in my opinion. That deceased person was more than the institution they worked at, and this deliberate insult (which isn't only directed at the deceased but their relatives and friends as well) is an insult to them that goes way beyond criticism or activism against the police. That person probably deeply hurt the deceased's friends and family. Fuck that shit.

Edit: If the kid's relatives were killed by cops, it's UNDERSTANDABLE why, but still a dick move.

 

[devilhawk]

I don't care about his motivations here, the only phrase to tell this guy is "You're an asshole."

 

[BronsonLee]

Reading the article is weird. Kid posed for a photo and gave names, but the Post couldn't find any of the names he said. Kid also felt bad for the the officer that was killed, which makes no goddamn sense because if you felt bad then why do that

Landlord would only give the name Jesus, said he was letting them stay there for a week, and booted them out anyways

I'm mean I have plenty of criticism of the police but a funeral isn't the time or place to be a god damned edge lord.

I don't think they 'lived' lived there?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I'm sure the free speech crew will be just as quick to defend this kid's actions.

 

[AntoneM]

Didn't the cops turn their backs toward the Mayor at this same event? If they're going to make it political, then I'm all for this kid's actions.

 

[Gallbaro]

Lot of bullshit (legal) points.

I do not think the noise ordinances apply before 10:00 so the police had no legal right to storm the apartment. Though he may have panicked and invited them in.

The landlord cannot just show up and evict tenets in NYC. Need the sheriff's department to do that.

Ah ok. But the house call by the police does not have a legal standing I think. Unless they made contact with the landlord for permission prior.

 

[GK86]

Cops at the funeral were infuriated by the show of disrespect.

“This is the s–t we face every day,” a police source griped.

Ohh boo hoo. I'm sure the minorities you treat like shit have it worse.

Ay yo, you insult one cop, you insult every cop! (Even though you shouldn't judge all cops by the actions of one bad cop)

Ohh boo hoo. I'm sure the minorities you treat like shit have it worse.

I'd love to listen to hop hop everyday. My coworker likes Modern country though.

Landlord can't really kick anybody out of anywhere in nyc without a lengthy process, at least not legally. They can on the other hand make the tenants' lives living hell in the meantime. $50 will hire a beating pretty easy in some neighborhoods.

 

[The Faceless Master]

he ain't wrong.

"prompting a house call from about 20 officers."

gang of fucking thugs.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

If it's true he got kicked out he got more punishment than cops who shoot people

 

[devilhawk]

I'm sure the free speech crew will be just as quick to defend this kid's actions.

The government didn't punish the kid. A private citizen (his landlord) did. First amendment working as advertised.

 

[Nickle]

20 cops for that?

 

[FUME5]

Was MCing at a skate demo thing back in the 90s, cops came to break it up. The DJ (who I didn't know) started playing fuck the police. An aboriginal officer came over and told him to stop playing that song. He flicked the fader and KRS starts belting out black cop.

He got dragged off and no doubt caught a beating.

A funeral is not the place to air your grievances with the force though.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Kinda dumb.

At the same time, fuck the police.

 

[FyreWulff]

strange how there isn't the flood of people going "i don't like what he's saying but he's free to say it" when it isn't a white supremacist talking about genocide against black persons

I'm speculating like a motherfucker here so bear with me:

Teen starts blaring song on repeat
Cops walk up to the house, start yelling at him, argument insues
Cops find out who super is somehow, call him
Super wants no beef with the cops, demands apology, gets it, kicks them out anyways because they aren't really tenants (this part I'm the most shaky on)

 

[M52B28]

I laughed, sorry.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

lol

thanks for playing

 

[K.Jack]

Not gonna judge the kid, he's seen some shit at way too young of an age.

 

[norm9]

Officer officer officer overseer. Good on this kid. Bad timing, good message.

 

[GK86]

20 cops for that?

Anytime a minority does something wrong, you can be sure cops will be rolling in deep.

 

[Kyzer]

His brother and best friend died from cops and hes 16, im not going to shit on this kid. I admire the notion, even if he isnt mature enough yet to understand what hes doing

 

[Laiza]

Immature, yet totally understandable. Unfortunately, I doubt it was worth it, even if he got satisfaction out of it at the time. But that's the thing about teenagers - their ability to think ahead and plan for the future is literally stunted next to fully developed adults. This is entirely expected behavior.

Ay yo, you insult one cop, you insult every cop! (Even though you shouldn't judge all cops by the actions of one bad cop)

"One rotten apple spoils the whole bunch"...

 

[Woo-Fu]

Fuck the police is a good message? Got ourselves an anarchist.

 

[TAJ]

I like this kid.

 

[Slayven]

Not saying I agree with it, but I understand. Folks have had brooms shoved up their asses by NYPD

Yeah, that part is the sketchy part.

Don't call the cops on me.

 

[Spinifex]

🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

[Hypemaster]

It's still fuck the police.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I'm sure the free speech crew will be just as quick to defend this kid's actions.

Im not even mad tbh.

Tasteless. But i can see why hes upset.

Shit im upset and i have no family members killed by cops, let alone killed recently.

20 cops for that?

I've had 3 patrol cars roll up on me for a noise ordiance of having my car speakers up too loud.

 

[pokeystaples]

At that age...having lived through the same things...can't say I wouldn't have done the same. Really unfortunate it got them evicted.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

There is definitely a time and place for that but a funeral is not one of them.
