So I was chillin’ in Pittsburgh over the weekend, catching up with some old friends and making new ones when I realized that there is no urban radio station in Pittsburgh. How is this possible in a city with a population of ninety-thousand African Americans making up 27% of the city’s population and a lot [...]
PITTSBURGH — A magistrate’s decision to drop criminal charges last week against a Creative and Performing Arts student set off rumors that a work-related retaliation might come from Pittsburgh police officers.

Cops will beat yo’ ass no matter the area code.
I feel cops should not be allowed to work the streets without being in full uniform. Additionally, they should not be allowed to be driving unmarked cars. Unless they’re working undercover and know the person they’re pursuing.

What’s wrong with these officers? Three couldn’t have taken down one man?
If they were decent officer, the most they should have done is: tackled him to the ground, handcuffed him, and checked him out. Then they would have said, “Thank God we didn’t beat this guy. We have the wrong person.”
