Meek Mill tried to speak out against the recent officer involved shooting and death of Alton Smith, but instead, he mistakenly gets an innocent white truck driver involved.
He posted a photo on his Instagram that has been circulating the web. The photo is of a man who just happens to be a Trump supporter and a lover of guns. Meek saw the photo and ran with it without checking to see if this right person or not.
In the caption, the rapper holds his tongue because according to him, he was “scared to say” what he really wanted to say. His post turned into an incoherent rambling about police officers and a retired cop telling him a race war is approaching.
The man is actually named Robert Kinnison, and he’s a truck driver from Arizona.
Because Meek posted the image to his social media account, this person has been receiving death threats from all over, and was forced to clear his name in a Twitter video.
Despite his followers calling him a dumb azz, and alerting him that the guy in the photo is in no way related to Alton’s death, Meek refused to delete the post from his Instagram.
