The NYPD is an hot water this week. NYPD commander Emmanuel Gonzalez of the Brooklyn’s 72nd precinct is currently under investigation after allegedly ordering his officers to shoot 50 Cent “on sight” at a boxing match in 2018, The New York Daily News reports.
According to the new report, deputy inspector Gonzalez allegedly made the comments to his staff during a roll call before the sporting match. Gonzalez allegedly tried to pass the “order” off as a joke, but no one was laughing.
After learning of the story on Sunday (Feb. 17), 50 Cent quickly hit back, calling Gonzalez a “dirty cop.” “This guy Emanuel Gonzalez is a dirty cop abusing his POWER. The sad part is this man still has a badge and a gun,” he wrote on Twitter.
Fif’ also indicated that he plans to take legal action against the NYPD. “Mr. Jackson takes this threat very seriously and is consulting with his legal counsel regarding his options going forward,” his spokesman said in a statement. “He is concerned that he was not previously advised of this threat by the NYPD and even more concerned that Gonzalez continues to carry a badge and a gun.”
This isn’t the first time 50 and Gonzalez had butt heads, however. According to People, Gonzalez previously filed an aggravated harassment complaint against 50 Cent last spring, after 50 reportedly made a series of threats towards the commander on social media.
