Long Live N.W.A.!!

The right to free speech cost one Philadelphia man his freedom after a YouTube video threatening police officers caught the attention of local police.
Andre Moore, posted a clip titled “Dissin Philly Cops,” in which he displayed a silver firearm
and proclaimed his joy when an officer is shot in the line of duty.
The 44-year-old called the officers in West Philadelphia’s 18th police district “a bunch of liars” and exclaimed his joy “whenever they shoot a cop in Philadelphia.”
Later in the video—which has been removed from the site—Moore aims the gun at the screen and directly advocates for the murder of officers.
"Boom! ... When you shoot the cop, you shoot them dead, OK? Anywhere, head or the heart. That's why the last cops lost their lives," he says.
Philadelphia police took the video seriously and issued a warrant for Moore’s arrest after identifying him in the video.
"We believe these were terroristic threats that are not protected by the First Amendment, particularly when he encourages people to promote violence in Philadelphia and when he shows people how to use a gun to shoot a cop," said Kevin Harley, spokesman for the state Attorney General’s office.
Officers used a battering ram to apprehend Moore, who will face charges of aggravated assault, terroristic threats, corruption of morals of a minor and harassment according to Lt. John Walker. The corruption of morals charge was due to Moore’s young son holding the camera during the video’s filming.
Three Philadelphia officers have been killed in the line of duty in the past two years.

Pray For Me

Rapper DMX was arrested in Miami for the second time this week, after attempting to buy $45 in cocaine and marijuana from an undercover police officer on Friday (Jun 26. He is currently in custody at the Miami-Dade County jail.
According to the police DMX approached the officer, asking for $30 of powder and $15 of weed.
DMX was also arrested on Monday (Jun 22) on a warrant for driving without a valid license, and was later released after posting a $500 bond.
Come on X! I am really praying for X to make it out of this struggle. One thing i can say i know of from X is he is very spiritual so with that power he can still make it. I also know he has alot of fines to pay but i know he's got enough to have someone hit the streets for him. I am not sure whats up with all these MC's getting into the "extra" stuff as far as the drugs. I repeat: Stick to the WEED!!!". This is one of the more stronger MC's and with all the wackness out here we need X!

The Dog Is Back In Jail


DMX was arrested on drug and animal cruelty charges following an overnight raid on the rapper's house.
The arrest and search warrants stemmed from indictments for felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. He made an initial court appearance where bail was set at $7,500.
Detectives seized 12 pit bulls, dug up remains of three others and found marijuana on the first strike. During yesterday's raid, officials said, more drugs and weapons were found. Additional charges were possible.
Simmons' New York lawyer Murray Richman, said he told his client to expect such a raid after his efforts to make DMX available to law enforcement were rebuffed.
"I anticipated it, I explained to my client what was going to happen," Richman said.
The rapper has had prior run-ins with the law, including an arrest Tuesday after speed cameras captured him going 114 mph on a freeway. His car had a giant decal reading "DMX" on the windshield. The Lawyer said it all i knew it would happen also. And the sheriff only last week made comment to the press stating the case was not over. X...at least cover your tracks dog you know better.
