Styles P Calls For Police Reform After Viral Altercation
Styles P responded after a video of him protecting a woman from the police went viral. The Yonkers woman was being detained by police when Styles P saw her being body slammed. He immediately confronted the police officers while coaching the woman through the process. Styles shared his thoughts about the situation and admitted he was wrong for the way he approached the officers. He also discussed the difficulty of watching police become violent with people of color. He said, “On behalf of all young Black people who seen the video, I was wrong, because you got to be careful of what you do, and how you speak out here because we’re all at danger. But we also got to kinda step up when we see s*** being done wrong. I definitely should have delegated better, this one caught me off guard from seeing a female being slammed. I don’t hate cops. I hate the mistreatment of poor Black people. Of poor Spanish people. Even poor white people in the hood.” Styles went on to explain that he doesn’t want to see cops lose their job but measures need to be taken to ensure that police aren’t racist or scared of the people in the communities they police.
