A Ferguson, Missouri police officer has reportedly been treated for a gunshot wound after enduring a bullet Saturday (September 27) weeks after the controversial shooting of local teenagers Michael Brown.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson revealed details of the shooting during a Sunday (September 28) morning conference.
The officer spotted two men, who began running when he approached them, Chief Jackson said. The officer chased them, and as he closed in on one of the suspects, Chief Jackson said, the second suspect pulled out a gun and fired at the officer, who was shot in one arm. The officer said he fired several shots in return, but there was no indication that he hit either of the suspects, Chief Jackson said. (NY Times)

Rap heavyweights Game, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross and more recently hooked up to release their tribute-driven “Don’t Shoot” anthem.
“Time to take a stand and save our future/ Like we all got shot, we all got shot/ Throwing up our hands, don’t let ’em shoot us,” the chorus rings out. From there, we get verses that mix anger, sadness and critique from Game, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Diddy, Fabolous, Wale, Swizz Beatz, Yo Gotti, Curren$y, Problem, King Pharaoh and TGT, as well as an intro from DJ Khaled.

A few days prior, Hot Boys’ Turk spoke to SOHH about being motivated by Roc Nation stud J. Cole‘s “Be Free” tribute to pen the new “Hands Up.”
“It had to be done. J. Cole, you know, shout-out to J. Cole, he actually released his new track and he’s singing on it and I was inspired by his own record. So I gotta shout him out. My producer Joey Did This, he sent me a track and I just went him. It took me some time. I would say it took me about thirty minutes to write the verse. I wrote two verses and I called my engineer and told him to meet me in the studio. I set up the time, did the song and just released it.” (SOHH)
Good. Kill them like they kill us!!!
bout time
lmao. Congratulations furguson. U had one itchy finger cop in your city yesterday, now you got a thousand itchy finger cops today. SMH. Dumb asses.
Shut yo dumb a8s up. It was away from the protests and they don’t eve4 think it was related. The cop that was killed last week by a white man, are the cops trigger happy towards whitw people? Idiot.
In order to make a good judgment on this matter I need to see the officer’s academy records, his school records, police records, and everything else that has nothing to do with this incident.
bwahaha don’t forget his birth certificate, kindergarten grades, and dental records!!
