Meek Mill Loses Civil Suit Against Philadelphia Police
by Staff Editor
Meek Mill took the stand in a civil lawsuit against his home of Philadelphia’s police department yesterday. The rapper was seeking retribution for what he claims was almost $400,000 in damages after he was detained and not charged for 10 hours the night he released his first album and was set to perform in Atlanta.
Today, a mostly white jury ruled in favor of the city. “They ain’t from where I’m from,” said Meek. “I [don’t] really expect them to understand what I go through. I respect their decision, though.”
He also took to twitter after the trial and you can see his reaction below.
I’m not surprised…Just let me move away from here …I just wanna get this money..And take care of my family! I sued they said I’m wrong
