Meek Mill took a loss against the Philadelphia police again in court Thursday afternoon.
According to Rap Up, the emcee sued his hometown after an unlawful arrest in 2012. Police arrested the rapper after accusations of drug use on his tour bus. Meek claims the arrest was racially motivated and sued for $400,000 in lost income and emotional distress.
The jury sided with the defendants, Andre Boyer and officer Alvin Outlaw, claiming that they didn't violate his Fourth Amendment laws.
Meek spoke to reporters after the ruling. The rapper says that he wasn't surprised with the outcome.
"They ain't from where I'm from," the rapper said. "I (don't) really expect them to understand what I go through. I respect their decision though."
He also told reporters that Philly police constantly abuse their authority when dealing with black people.
"In neighborhoods like where I come from, four black males in a car ... we're always being asked to be searched," Mill testified Monday. "All I was doing that night was going to work and doing what I had to do."
Andre Boyer was fired after lying about another traffic stop. His rap sheet also includes more civil complaints than any other officer involved with the case.
Meek tweeted his thoughts after leaving court on Thursday.
"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."
