Madonna was one of the many Hollywood celebs who took to their social media to express their grief in the shooting of teenager Daunte Wright.
Wright was shot and killed by Brooklyn Center police, once again igniting the age-old debate about police brutality in America and the ways to curb such violence, particularly targeting ethnical minorities.
Taking to her Instagram handle, Pop superstar Madonna also had some words to say about the situation, which invited the wrath of one of her fans.
Here’s what the singer posted, along with the distressing video of the shooting:
“This video of Daunte Wright’s shooting is deeply upsetting
but equally so is Police Officer Tim Gannon’s explanation of how it was all an accident.
The shooting officer had a taser in one hand and a hand gun in the other.
She warned everyone she was going to taser a handcuffed. Daunte who was pulled over for a traffic violation and instead she shot and killed him!
No way to fix this accident is there Tim??!! This is so infuriating and unacceptable. God Bless Daunte and his family. 🙏🏼 #justicefordauntewright #guncontrol
One of her fans apparently wasn’t happy on her stance when it comes to ‘Gun Control’, condoning civilian rights to carry assault weapons and that further ignited the wrath of the ‘Madame X’ singer.
Here’s what the user stated on her post:
“I would bet you have people with guns to protect you and your family. But the little people can be left unarmed. If you take the guns away criminals will ALWAYS find weapons. The rest of us innocent people will be victims. You live behind high walls with protection. You do not live in the real world. Criminals do not fear police, judges, or jail. But if we are an armed society they would fear the victims.”
And here’s how Madonna came all-armed to put them to their place:
“B*tch I don’t have any security or armed guards around me. come see me and tell me to my face how not real my world is. I dare you. You know nothing about me or my life. The only criminals I see right now are the police who are paid to protect the people. But police are protected by judges and the criminal justice system which is a joke because there is no justice if you are a person of color. Of course your name is Karen.”
There you have it.
Don’t come for Madonna!
