Ice Cube back in the news (Kinda)

[Trauma-san]

LOL

I have heard EVERYTHING now.

In Chicago yesterday, the police were looking for this guy that raped a couple women.  Get this, the APB from the chicago police department said the guy "Looks like Rap Star Ice Cube".


........


So, the local television news company in Chicago got a copy of a Cube video, and PLAYED IT ON THE NEWS, LOL.

Cube's shooting "Barbershop 2" and apparently was actually watching the damn news when it came on.  So his spokesperson or whatever complained about it, and they all apologized and said they didn't mean to hurt his good name.  

[LAZY]

LMAO so the news said Ice Cube raped a girl?

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Police Department has apologized for issuing a community alert that described a man suspected in a series of sexual assaults as resembling hip-hop artist and actor Ice Cube after a local television station aired one of the rapper's videos during its evening newscast.

Police are searching for a man who sexually assaulted three woman in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, a trendy area on the city's North Side.

A police alert released Sunday described the man as a black male in his mid-20s who ``resembles the popular rap artist 'Ice Cube.'''

The Chicago TV station owned and operated by CBS, WBBM-TV, subsequently broadcast one of Ice Cube's videos when it reported the story Monday night.

 
``We acknowledged the information should not have been on the alert,'' Police spokesman David Bayless said Tuesday. ``We took immediate corrective action. We apologize to Ice Cube for what was an honest mistake and came with no ill intent.''

 
The community alert was reissued without a reference to Ice Cube.

 
Filming had begun Monday on ``Barbershop 2,'' a sequel to the popular movie starring the Compton, Calif., native, said Matt Labov, a spokesman for Ice Cube.

 
Labov said cast members were watching as WBBM-TV broadcast the video.

 
``This is an unfortunate and hurtful situation for Ice Cube,'' Labov said. ``That his good name ever came up in association with the events currently taking place in Chicago's Wicker Park area is damaging to Ice Cube as a father, husband and artist.''

 
Both the police department and the TV station have since apologized, Labov said.

 
Elizabeth Shapiro, communications director for Channel 2, acknowledged that the station used the video.

 
``Chicago police had issued a community alert saying a suspect in a string of crimes in Wicker Park resembled rap artist Ice Cube,'' she said. ``So our information was taken directly from the Chicago Police Department community alert.''

The Chicago Police Department apologized to Ice Cube Tuesday (July 22) after issuing an alert that described the suspect in a series of sexual assaults as looking like the rapper, who is in Chicago filming "Barbershop 2."

Over the weekend police described the suspect as a black male in his mid-20s, who "resembles the popular rap artist Ice Cube." When the local television station WBBM-TV, which is owned and operated by CBS, aired the statement on Monday, they accompanied the alert with footage from one of Ice Cube's videos.

A spokesperson for the televison station admitted that the station used the video but said that the inclusion of Ice Cube's name came directly from the police-issued community alert.

A spokesperson for the Chicago Police said, "We acknowledged the information should not have been on the alert. We took immediate corrective action. We apologize to Ice Cube for what was an honest mistake and came with no ill intent."

The alert was reissued without the reference to the rapper.

I'd be pissed too if someone said I raped someone, or resembed a rapist. 'Cause there is crime, and then there is being fucked up, and rape is straight fucked up. Rather be a killa than a rapist.
