Kanye West Cop and Soldier Comment: Ohio Police Chief Fires Back in a Letter to Yeezus Rapper
Kanye West is known to be politically incorrect. You actually just never know what he will say next. Our favorite part is the confident tone in which he makes each statement. When Kanye compared his rap career to the career of a cop or a soldier, people just didn't know what to say. However, Ohio Police Chief David Oliver couldn't have been further from a shortage of words.
Our soldiers and police are the people risking their lives each day to protect us. So when Kanye compared his rap stardom to the war against crime, more than one person was offended. Ohio Police Chief, David Oliver, was especially insulted by the Kanye's claim and decided to publicly publish his sentiment through this open letter:
Since you are accustomed to danger, from your life as an international rapper, I am strongly encouraging you immediately abandon you career as a super star and join the military.
After joining, I would like you to volunteer to be deployed in Afghanistan or one of the numerous other forward locations where our men and women are currently serving. When the Taliban starts shooting at you, perhaps you could stand up and let the words flow.
I'm sure they would just drop weapons and surrender. You could quite possibly end all wars, just from the enemy being star-struck.
What I do not get is you EVER comparing what you do for a living to our heroic military members, who are always in harm's way... and my brother and sister police officers who have to go to work carrying weapons and wearing a bullet-proof vest to protect themselves.
Check yourself, before you wreck yourself....Chief Oliver.
Holy mother of baby Yeezus... that was pretty intense. Wasn't that everything you were thinking but just couldn't put it into words? This man has a way with sarcasm doesn't he? Very well said, sir; Kanye will know not to mention our soldiers or officials ever again... or for a few more days, maybe. What do you have to say about that Kanye?
