Killer Mike paid a visit to FOX News this week at the behest of Power 105‘s Charlamagne Tha God to discuss cops, constitutional rights and the protests in Ferguson, Missouri. The chat follows the recent funeral for unarmed St. Louis teen Michael Brown, who was shot by a police officer in Ferguson on August 9th. Killer Mike begins his commentary with a disclaimer about the origins of his stage name and his personal encounters with law enforcement officers before launching into a discussion of his feelings about how they can engage people more effectively and ease tensions in communities of color. From a brief primer on 2nd Amendment rights and his support of the NRA to his ideas about more useful solutions to the frustrations experienced by citizens and cops, Killer Mike serves up some serious food for thought on the matter and what could arguably be some of the most honest and actionable commentary offered by a public figure to date. Check the footage below to watch the full interview featuring Killer Mike. Look out for Run The Jewels 2, dropping October 28th on Mass Appeal.
