Police officers are so committed to violence and impropriety that they will maim and permanently injure their own brothers in blue. Such was the case for a Black recruit to the Denver Police Department named Victor Moses.

Moses was going through the gauntlet of exercises required to become a police officer in Denver. According to USA Today, he was forced to participate in a “brutal hazing” called “Fight Day” by department officials and even some local paramedics. As a result of this abuse, which included hitting his head and passing out twice, Moses would also have to have both of his legs amputated.

On Jan. 6, 2023, Moses was participating in a drill designed to teach officers how to escalate and de-escalate force based on the situation. During one of these stationed drills, Moses hit his head and collapsed, USA Today reports.

He complained that he was having severe cramping in his legs and paramedics found that his blood pressure was extremely low. Despite this, Moses was forced to his feet and pushed to continue competing. In the following station, Moses was “attacked” by a fellow officer and eventually became unresponsive again before being taken to the hospital.

“I felt something I’ve never felt before,” Moses told USA Today, which noted that the cramping was a “sign of distress” in people with sickle cell trait, something Moses said he informed the department of.

“It’s really hard to explain, like, how it feels like to die, and I’ve never had that, but I felt what death feels like.”

Moses would spend the next four months in the hospital recovering from his dual amputation and trying to recover from prescribed drug use.

“When they started weaning down on the drugs, I felt, ‘Why am I still here? Why am I not home, what’s going on?’” Moses said. “You’re just in pain, your parents are there for some reason and it was just living hell. It really became real to me when my classmates were visiting me and started explaining what happened and then you see your rotting body.”

The lawsuit that was filed against the department includes text messages from multiple recruits who witnessed how Moses was treated and more importantly, not treated. It stands to reason that they will all be testifying against the department.

Inexplicably, Moses says he still fully supports police officers and says he would like to return to the career path someday.

“I will always support the police. There’s so many good police officers out there,” Moses said. “Yes, my life was ruined, I was turned permanently disabled. But it doesn’t negate the fact that there are a lot of good cops out there. It’s just unfortunate when the actions of a bad police officer, in this case, a group of bad officers, overshadows their work.”

Maybe they need to run more tests to see if this brotha’s head is ok…

It costs to be the boss, but for 50 Cent it’s no big deal. The G-Unit head recently revealed that he’s spent over $24 million in legal fees during his tenured career.

50 Cent has evolved from an up-and-coming rapper signed by Dr. Dre to a multi-faceted, relentlessly petty mega mogul. Over the years, we’ve come to adore Fif, who doesn’t play about his money especially if he has to get his top-tier legal team involved.

While recently speaking to Wallo and Gillie on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, 50 spoke candidly about the shocking amount he pays his lawyers.

“I’ll do it for recreational purposes,” he explained at the 27:00 minute mark, “When they agitate me, I’ll send the f**kin’ lawyers.”

On Instagram, 50 is always in a back-and-forth with someone, and Wallo asked him to explain just how much he’s spent on legal fees.

“Twenty-four million in my career so far. I can’t wait till I get rich. Just on lawyers.” He then repeated himself, “I’ve spent $24 million in my career on legal fees.”

Considering 50’s Vitamin Water deal and hit shows, he’s got way more cash to give his lawyers. If you ever needed a sign to stay on 50’s good side, this is it.
