50 Cent took to Instagram to sends his condolences to the family of the victims while also expressing his thoughts on the current issues with law enforcement. In his post he captioned the photo by stating:
“This is not a game out here, police have gotten away with shooting so many people and not being punished for it. People are fed up. I saw CNN report on Cops being shot and the sad part is my first thought was, Good because I’ve seen so many graphic images of cops wrongfully shooting people but when I think about it, the officers that were shot are not guilty of anything. They were protecting protesters. Their families must be devastated. My condolences to those families of the officers that lost their lives that night. But we also can’t ignore the fact that black people get treated unjustly by law enforcement everyday. My condolences also go to the families of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile.”
We are also sending our condolences to the families of all victims. Check out 50 Cents full statement in the gallery.
