Foxy Brown: I'm a Victim of Police Brutality

Foxy Brown claims she was a victim of police brutality during a beauty store bust in Florida nearly two weeks ago.

The rapper held a press conference yesterday, and attacked the Pembroke Pines Police for their alleged treatment of her during her February 15 arrest. The store owner claims Brown went on a violent rampage that included squirting hair glue, knocking over displays and spitting at him.

"The only crime I am guilty of committing is being a young black female celebrity in Broward County," said Brown. "I am the victim of an overzealous police department who engaged in police brutality and a money-hungry store owner whose motives are for me to pay his mortgage on his house and his children's tuition."

Brown added that the store owner barged in on her while she was on the toilet and demanded she leave the store , without giving her the privacy to get dressed. Though Brown went off on the police department and the store owner, she didn't deny the charges they filed against her.

106. Please all you ex-convicts that are now reformed because you read the bible stop quoting scriptures,it's really annoying.Lele you have made a few of the most asinine statements referring to "white woman" wanting bigger boobs,biggerlips,bigger back ends and biting the "Black culture" so to say.That's like saying all African-Americans eat chiken and drink 40s and smoke Newports.If you notice a lot of the rap crowd have taken their tough guy persona from "real mobsters" of the 30s and 40s.Funny that Kanye West wears outfits that are more suited to a golf course or country club then a music studio or in public,wonder where that styling cue came from.Effen Canadian I would comment but your name says it all!

107. It is very likely that the police over reacted and it is likely that the store owner busted in on Foxy while in the bathroom. However, it is not surprising that the store owner claims foxy was insanely disturbing his business.

While Foxy Brown is definitely not the people's choice, however, no one has the right to bust in on someone while on the toilet and being that Foxy is a woman there was no need for police to become violent or to violate her. She is correct in her assertion that it is hard for a famous black woman, many people do see dollar signs. I have gone into a Korean beauty supply store and been moved to cursing them out and throwing things because of their rude service and racial remarks and I was not sued or called to court they said get out of my store and don't come back! Foxy is only being singled out becaue they think she has some money and based on the media sources that bitch is not ballin!

108. Linda #103, sooo not true. Black people aren't racist also? I know where you're coming from but it isn't just a certain group of people. What did Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden call Americans? Infidels!! Excuse me, but that should really piss you off! As far as #92 goes--ignore it. Only posted to stir things up .All over this site. Yes racism is alive and well- in all of the posters here. Farrah? Have anything to add? To you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

111. fatwilliam, i mean ftwilliams your comment made no sense. just because you use one intellegant word does not make you intellegant. and, Kanye West does dress well. that has nothing to do with white country clubs. for you to say the thug mentality came from gangster movies. i glad to see you all taking the credit for something other than open heart surgery, rock music and the invention of the stop light

112. Oh Lele where do I start?you obviously missed the whole point and in typical fashion you will try to spin this into something it is not.Your post was a jumble of deadend sentences and quite frankly lost me.I would comment but your reply would baffle even you had you proofread it.Nice to see you are trying to help your race advance as you put it,I'm sure by your name calling and having not met me to prove your childish "fatwilliams"remark and lack of INTELLIGENT comments they must be so proud of you.

113. Must we go through this again? Read this slowly, BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BLACK HISTORY MONTH, 1 MONTH PER YEAR. WHITE PEOPLE HAVE WHITE HISTORY MONTH 11 MONTHS PER YEAR.

115. I am really upset that this piece of sh*# is quoted as saying that the storeowner is "a money-hungry store owner whose motives are for me to pay his mortgage on his house and his children's tuition." This is the only way for him to recoup all the tax $$'s he has paid out to support her previously WELFARE ASS. If she behaved herself and acted like a civilized human being, she wouldn't be in this position.

116. One more comment. If she does not like it here she should go to Africa to live. If her ancestors still lived there, she would be living in a primative village, fighting with another tribe in the area. No hair glue to spray or display racks to knock over.

Blacks in the US have it the best - Blacks in the US do not even help the blacks in Africa - they wait for white groups to help. You never see black $$ going to poor white countries do you? It is always the other way around.

Get over this racial thing and everyone enjoy what they have and share it with others, no matter what color, who don't have.

117. "....a money-hungry store owner whose motives are for me to pay his mortgage on his house and his children's tuition". What a stupid thing to say for someone who is ghetto, raised on tax $$ . All the storeowner wants to do is recoup some of the TAX $$ he has paid. At least he is not depending on welfare $$ to pay for his housing or his kids' schooling. Just going to recoup, that's all.

118. DEEANN!!! You ae the only stringy haired peice of sh!t on this site!!!!!

Again Foxy probally grew up in a more prominent nrighborhood then yourself! The last time I looked Park Slope was far from ghetto! You sound like a an idiot talking about she can go back to africa.... If it were'nt for your pagan ancestors perhaps we would have a continent to return to. Your the main one saying lets get over this racial thing but yet you still leave racists remarks!!!!! You are a prime example of a BLUE EYED DEVIL!!!! Then i have to question can you count? you said in post #124 you had one more comment then you went on to post two more. What an idiot! does this topic have you that mad? For a white ho who doesnt like blacks you sure found the foxy page well.

119. TO #128 - prettyx2: I am NOT a blue eyed white person.
I am a 56 y/oblack woman, professional RN, who worked her way through
school, as both my parents worked and did not use the government as our
way of life. I believe that my ancestors had a very hard time in this
country, but also had a hard life in Africa. And some of my
relatives, whoever they are, are still having a hard time living in Africa. Sometimes
I feel that if my ancestors were not sold by BLACK chiefs, I would
still be in those villages.So before you go off on your triade, being
mad that you are black, try doing something positive for your people.
I do. I volunteered in New Orleans - but 99% of the people who
were volunteers were WHITE, and the black residents were just
sitting there watching us work for their benefits. That is what is
wrong with blacks in this country. They want white people to do
everything for them. Charity begins at home. Instead of sitting at
your computer, get your ass up and volunteer to help your fellow black
man-- Bet you won't. (Too much work. Too many white people
helping, -That will be your excuse.)
