The country continues to wrestle with its long, continuous history of police terrorism, with one of the most recent high-profile cases coming just last month when Jayland Walker was gunned down by Akron police in a hail of bullets during a traffic stop.

When Styles P witnessed two police officers wrestling a woman who appeared to be unarmed to the ground in Yonkers, NY, he didn't take out his phone and start filming — he reacted instinctually and confronted the officers, telling a bystander to "keep filming" as he attempts to intervene.

“Yo! He’s a b-tch,” he told one of the officers, before telling the woman who was being handcuffed, “Yo, sista’, loosen up."

He then tells the officer once more, "You’s a f-cking hoe. You’s a whole b-tch.” When an officer turns to confront him, he backs up and puts his hands in the air. “I’mma back up. Don’t touch me," he says before shouting, "You slammed a girl! For no reason!”

Styles P responded to the video after it went viral, admitting that he's, "man enough to admit the youth shouldn’t follow my angered path [that] may lead to them getting clapped."

He added, "Also man enough to admit the Jake gotta delegate better In our communities. Lotta of frustrated people out and about that’s tired of seeing the women and kids mistreated! Pretty sure it’s a way to start making shit better!!!"

In the video, he shares his thoughts about the situation appearing weary and exasperated at times. He opens his short clip with a warning to not follow in his footsteps and confront the police, because things may not end well.

"On behalf of young Black people who seen the video, I was wrong because you gotta be careful of what you do, and how you speak out here because we’re all at danger," he admits. "But we also got to kinda step up when we see sh-t being done wrong. I definitely should have delegated better ... this one caught me off guard from seeing a female being slammed.”  

Still, he again reminds young people not to copy his reaction, but also says cops shouldn't be afraid in the communities they serve. “Don’t do what I just did," he warned. "What we have to do, and I say this a gangsta and a gentleman. Don’t be scared to be a cop if you not built to be outside.”

He said that he doesn't hate cops. "I hate the mistreatment of poor Black people," he clarified. "Of poor Spanish people. Even poor white people in the hood.” 

He also said he didn't want to see the cops fired but that he was so upset "I wanted to kinda fight the cop. Which is one of the dumbest things you can do."

“Sometimes you just get f-cking tired,” he said, adding that measures need to be taken to ensure cops aren't scared of the folks living in the communities they serve, and reiterating the idea that many progressives have put forward about communities policing their own neighborhoods as one suggestion of reform.

He added that he's been living in a white neighborhood for years and never saw anyone being handled the way the woman in the video was. "I don’t know what the f-ck to say about that, but we got to say something," he said.
