Jail Quotes - page 19
A few weeks after the song's release, what was a fictionalized story became very real. On October 17, Tupac was crossing the street in downtown Oakland, California, when police officers Alexander Boyovich and Kevin Rodgers stopped him. They accused him of jaywalking and asked to see his ID. In the police report, they referred to Tupac by his middle name, Amaru, and called him angry and hostile. They said Tupac told them, "This is just two white cops who want to stop a n-----.”
A month later at a press conference, Tupac told his side of the story. As he was preparing to enter Union Bank, the officers approached him. Tupac asked why they were requesting to see his ID. He accused them of having a slave-master mentality before allegedly being thrown onto the concrete, cuffed, and choked until he was left unconscious. He was put in jail for seven hours for resisting arrest and later released.
Tupac Shakur
William Rehnquist-I hope you die a slow and painful death. Sandra Day O'Connor-die a slow and painful death. Clarence Thomas-I hope you die slowly and painfully. Antonin Scalia-die with pain, slowly. Justice Kennedy-I forget your first name-I hope your death is painful and slow. President Bush-I hope you die so slowly, and with pain. Dick Cheney-die painfully slow, with slow pain. John Ashcroft-die slowly, painfully. You are all criminals. You will never go to jail. So just die, as soon as possible, with great pain, slowly. I would die the slowest, most painful death of all of you if it meant that just half of you would die now. Call me liberal, call me twisted and sick, I don't care. I hate you all and I hope you all die.
