Meek Mills posts picture of his swollen face after allegedly being 'punched and stomped' by police at 18 years old
In the midst of the Baltimore Riots Rapper Meek Mill, currently engaged to be married to female rap superstar Nicki Minaj, posted a flashback image of himself on his Instagram page showing the results of some police brutality that he allegedly encountered first hand at 18 years of age.
Alongside this image came a detailed description and heartfelt message about the situation from Meek and he let his followers know that he was able to forgive, knowing that "all cops ain't the same".
As shown below, in images taken from Meek Mill's instagram page, Meek wrote:
"Lips swollen .... Stitches in both swollen eyes! One of my braids ripped out! I weighed about 130 at the time And I was found guilty of assaulting cops! It's clear 2 see I was punched and stomped by a few cops! If I wasn't blessed the way I am I still would have hatred in my heart towards cops but I forgave bcuz I know all cops ain't the same! 2 "black cops" got on the stand and lied and cried about how I chased them down with a gun and tried to kill them! I caught that case at 18 and was stripped of my freedom and taken away from my family 4 times for the same case and still on probation.. 1 step away from jail if I make one mistake!
I can't blame the judge because the law labels cops as "expert witnesses" and it was cops against a black kid and she's supposed to believe a cops testimony first!! I never got a chance to speak to my judge about this from young man to woman and I hope she see's this to help other young men that wont b able to make it thru! After I caught the case I had no choice to hustle in the streets to get a good lawyer aka a good liar to help me get my freedom!
The Baltimore riots continue in what is a very unsettling and unsure time in the United Stated where police brutality is rife and raw and change is certainly necessary for a better future.
