There have been many instances in which police officers have committed senseless acts against minorities throughout the years. This type of behavior has given them a terrible reputation. As seen on film, The LOX rapper Styles P intervenes in a situation where two Yonkers cops forcefully arrest an unarmed Black woman. As reported by TMZ, the woman was arrested for driving recklessly while operating an unregistered motorbike.
It turns out that the incident occurred just outside Style P and Jadakiss’ juice bar, Juices For Life, in New York. According to P, the police were being too aggressive toward the woman. This led him to become involved in the matter.
“You’s a f**king h*e. You’s a whole b*tch,” the “I Get High” rapper said to one of the officers. In response to his continued derogatory remarks, the cop stood up and approached him.
“Imma back up, don’t touch me,” Styles said as he held his hands up. “Yeah you scared too, you keep running up on me. You slammed a girl! For no reason!”
People From All Walks of Life Support The LOX Rapper
In addition to going viral, the video received numerous supportive comments from fans on social media. Styles P has also received support from the Breakfast Club with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne tha God.
“The most important thing was see he ran to the young lady’s help and he told her to loosen up and to calm down,” said DJ Envy. “He was there to make sure that nothing went any further left. Which we should do, anytime anything like that happens.”
Styles P is a Real Man for standing up for that sista against the police. This is the most “gangsta” thing you could ever do: be of service to another when injustice is in front of you 💪

Styles Gives His Thoughts On What Transpired
Moreover, P released a video on his Instagram page addressing the incident. He admitted he was tempted to fight the policeman, but doing so would have been a grave error. Although Styles does not wish to see the officers lose their jobs, he would like to see them handle situations with more remarkable tact.
“I don’t hate cops. I hate the mistreatment of poor people,” he said.
More individuals like The LOX rapper are needed in the Black community to speak out on behalf of our race. All police officers are not bad, but several news stories are devoted to law enforcement personnel’s murder or mistreatment of African Americans. These victims include Walter Scott, Philando Castile, Rodney King, Daunte Wright, Manuel Ellis, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, among many others.
