Cops ‘the worst gang in the world’
BROWN’S SOCIAL MEDIA RANT: AFTER BEING BUST FOR ‘ASSAULT’
Musician denies threatening Miss California’s life by pointing a gun at the beauty queen.
The Los Angeles police have released singer Chris Brown from custody after arresting him on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, jail records show.
He was arrested on Tuesday following an hours-long standoff after a woman alleged he had pointed a gun at her.
He was released on $250 000 (R3.6 million) bail yesterday, according to Los Angeles County jail records.
Prosecutors have not formally charged him.
“Chris is out and well,” Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos tweeted yesterday.
“The allegations against him are demonstrably false.”
The Los Angeles Police Department earlier said officers headed to Brown’s palatial home after the woman called for help.
Brown, 27, took to social media to deny any wrongdoing, daring police to get a search warrant to enter his home in a series of videos posted on Instagram.
“When you get the warrant for whatever you need to do, you’re going to walk right up in here and you’re going to see nothing, you idiots,” an angry Brown said.
He voiced support for the Black Lives Matter movement against police brutality, saying: “You’re all the worst gang in the world, the police.”
He claimed he was sound asleep and awakened by police and media outside his home.
“So, I’m asleep half the damn night, I just wake up, all these [expletive] helicopter choppers is
Let somebody make a [expletive] allegation about me, oh yeah, the whole [expletive] Swat team.

around,” Brown said.
“There are police out there at the gate... What the [expletive] else do you want from me, bro?
“I stay out of the way. Take care of my daughter. Do work... At the same time, when I call the police for stalker people that are endangering my life, they don’t come till the next day. Let somebody make a [expletive] allegation about me, oh yeah, the whole [expletive] Swat team.”
Baylee Curran, crowned Miss California Regional in a beauty pageant this year, identified herself as the caller, as she also took to Instagram.
She also spoke to TMZ, saying she and a friend went into a hot tub at Brown’s house, and that the singer became angry when she admired the jewellery of a member of his entourage.
The R&B singer, who topped the US singles chart with Run It! and Kiss Kiss, has had years of run-ins with the law.
Most notoriously, he was convicted of beating then girlfriend Rihanna before the 2009 Grammy Awards, forcing the pop singer to miss the music industry’s annual gala. – AFP
