Nipsey Hussle Arrested In LA During A Rally For Trayvon Martin

It has been reported from TMZ, that rapper Nipsey Hussle was handcuffed during a Trayvon Martin Rally in Los Angeles after police believed him to have been brandishing a gun. However once the rapper was let go, they realized he was not in possession of a firearm. 

Nipsey says the confusion may have stemmed from an incident with a random person who threw a bottle at Nipsey’s car. Nipsey says he and his crew got out of the car to say something to the bottle-thrower … then quickly got back into their car and drove away. Moments later, they were surrounded by cops.

Nipsey tells TMZ that he is upset with the way cops treated his brother who is disabled. “They pushed his face on the concrete. They dropped a knee in his spine then twisted his arm and cuffed him while he was not resisting.” He also mentioned that the cops held them on scene for 4 hours to only find out that he didn't have a gun. 

Some may view it as a case of racial profiling but Nipsey doesn't think it was. “I think it was the result of hyper sensitive LAPD officers overreacting once again.”
