Miami Police Department Thinks Jay-Z Looks Like a Gangbanger
Jay-Z is on the cover of this month's Forbes. But the Miami Police Department still thinks he looks like your typical member of a street gang.





...Couldn't they have found a photo of a REAL gang member on which to base their art? They ARE the police.

Well, maybe they were worried about DEFAMING a real gang member--that would have gotten them in TROUBLE, rofl!

Update...While still refusing to comment, the Miami PD has removed the art from its website. (link)
Some dark threatening-looking silhouettes would have worked just as well. And I suppose we should give them credit for diversifying the rest of the gang...

1. Oh my God.
That's almost HILARIOUS in a truly sad kind of way.

Can you say "Dade County, I hope you have some serious dough in your petty cash box because you are about to have a very nice lawsuit on your hands?"
