Ice-T Slams Police Over Arrest In Video Rant
Rapper Ice-T has posted an internet video rant at police over his embarrassing arrest last week.
The rapper-turned-actor is still spitting venom after being pulled over for driving with expired car insurance and has told the world all about it on www.ustream.com.
"Everybody heard I called the cop a punk b****," the "Law & Order: SVU" star said at the beginning of his diatribe, referring to a statement he tweeted after his arrest.
"The reason I did that was because he pretty much was a punk b****."
Ice-T, 52, said he was collared shortly after he and his wife, Coco, dropped off their pooch, Spartacus, at a Manhattan vet for surgery.
The rapper, whose real name is Tracy Marrow, was taken into custody for allegedly driving with a suspended licence, not wearing a seat belt and not having valid insurance, police said.
He was then handcuffed, fingerprinted and spent nearly three hours at a police station before being given a ticket and released.
Ice-T, whose biggest hit was the incendiary 1992 song "Cop Killer," said he gave the officers an earful when he was booked at the 10th Precinct stationhouse in Chelsea.
"I roll down the window and dude goes, 'Didn't you see me standing out in the street right there?'" the rapper said during his video rant.
"I was like, 'No officer, I'm trying to get through the tunnel; I'm sorry, I didn't see you'.
"He's turned red; he's flush red. This kid is like 28 years old... He goes, 'You ain't got no seat belt on!'"
Ice-T said the officer took his licence and registration, and moments later informed him of the insurance lapse, which happened in 2008.
The star went on to explain his lawyers found that it happened when he was transferring his coverage from New York to New Jersey.
He blamed the blunder on either the state or the insurance provider and said he may pursue a lawsuit.
