​      My condolences to the family of Officer Terrence Carraway who was killed in the line of duty, and sending healing vibrations to the wounded officers and their families. I find it my duty to report mass media biased reporting of this incident, the shooter's name was only mentioned once and ethnicity with held.

Source: MARCO BERTORELLO / Getty Tekashi69 has become just as famous for his run-ins with the law as he is for his penchant for trolling. The colorfully-coiffed rapper’s attorney is saying that a gun found i n his Brooklyn home during a raid is not his. TMZ reports : Tekashi’s defense attorney, Lance Lazzaro, tells TMZ … a gun charge would be a very difficult case to prove because the rapper doesn’t even own a piece. We broke the story … Tekashi’s Brooklyn home was raided by federal agents, assisted by the NYPD, last week and they discovered a gun. It’s not clear what prompted the search, or who owns the recovered items. Tekashi wasn’t home when feds busted through the front door, and 6ix9ine claims he moved out weeks before the raid … so his defense thinks it’s gonna be hard to link anything to him.
