Singer Kelis cleared of disorderly conduct charges Singer Kelis has been acquitted of all charges stemming from a 2007 incident in Miami where she was accused of disrupting a police operation by rushing toward and screaming racial profanities at officers.
Authorities were talking to some men in the South Beach nightclub district when they said Kelis Rogers-Jones rushed toward them, screamed racial profanities at them and said one of the men was her husband, Nas, according to the arrest report. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence. She was cleared of the charges on Thursday. Kelis — famous for her 2003 album, "Tasty," and its chart-topping single, "Milkshake" — married rapper Nas in 2005. In a statement given to The Associated Press, the singer said she was happy justice prevailed and hopes this "sheds light on the fact that wearing a uniform and carrying a badge does not allow you to act above the law." -- "Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change." - Malcolm X, Malcolm X Speaks, 1965 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Black Focus Inc." group.
