I love the "a black man shooting two white cops" like white men or latino men go around shooting white cops for the fuck of it, lol.
Tupac was rich and the case got publicity. That's why he got away with it. If just any guy had shot two cops in the back (ass) AFTER they walked away from the vehicle, they would be in jail for attempted murder. If a celebrity does it, they're a hero, only because it can be fought. I'm not saying he was wrong, because he was absolutely right, but it shouldn't be made into something it wasn't. I'm a Pac fan, love his music and his passion for rap music plus everything he brought to the industry, but he was not a hero in this case.
Cops harassing man.
Pac: Wtf is going on?
Cops: Go back to your vehicle.
Pac goes to vehicle.
That isn't heroic, that is wise. They then bust out his window, walk away, then he shoots. At its best, it was self defense. Belated self defense.
Also, he had no way of knowing they stole the guns from evidence at the time of the altercation.
