Harlem’s poster child, Jim Jones isn’t feeling the police. Apparently, Jimmy got into it with the feds at Hot97’s Summer  Jam ‘08. Just like every other rapper, Jimmy felt the need to bring in the Sean Bell verdict for his defense against the feds. Here’s what he had to say:

“Everybody is talking about we need to protest, etc. and yeah we need to do everything we can do. But we also have to be smart. This is 2008 not the times of Martin and Malcolm and they did their thing. They are not letting us do that type of shit anymore. We have to be smart about the tools that we use to make this bullshit better. Like the Sean Bell incident happens everyday. As you know, I just got into it with the police and had an incident where they pulled a gun out on me for NO reason. Undercover. And I didn’t know who the fuck they were and they didn’t come out with any badges until after they had sprayed mase, then they want to say they are police. Shit is crazy. It’s tough out here. And they still out here profiling and they rap police out here. We don’t get any respect out here. The more we get money, the more they want to take us down and it’s terrible. And for the ones that don’t got no money they are done from the get go. Cats with felonies and shit. The situation gets way too deep and it’s been going on forever. And we ain’t getting a break no time fucking soon.”

Here’s why he thought the feds pressed him.

“The police get scared, they get nervous. They don’t follow protocol. I don’t even want to even get into all of that because it’s bug man. I’m not going to say all police are bad but there are police that really give them all a bad rap when it comes to us and shit. I feel like it’s no justice, it’s no fucking peace. So fuck them.”
