New York cop's loyalty questioned after lyrics discovered
NEW YORK — A racially charged rap video created by a police officer culminated in a hostile-workplace lawsuit filed against the New York City police department.
Atisha Samuel joined the force in 2017, but soon after a video she made in 2016 surfaced — with lyrics that included: “It’s the war against the white man on the beat — with his handguns, quick to pull out on a n—ga if he dare run.”
One officer interviewed by the New York Post reported he now didn’t feel safe on the job.
The suit alleges Samuel was told to “ask for forgiveness” by a union official and was brought into internal affairs where her loyalty was questioned.
