Her family disputed the police account of her death, saying Beaty would know better than threaten police.

“She’s very smart, very intelligent. I don’t believe she was brandishing a weapon,” her sister, Kendra Beaty, told the Virginian-Pilot.

“Her automatic reaction would have been to drop and say, ‘It’s not real.’ She would not have gone to jail over a toy gun.”

Beaty’s family said she was an aspiring rapper who went by “Lbeezygotti.”

I got it (and liked it); thanks!

Nice pic; a shame to lose another promising young man from the ‘hood...

When is anyone going to focus these “youths” towards anything beyond sports and/or rapping? There are literally millions of them vying for thousands of slots - with no backup plan if they don’t make the cut.

Looks real, and made to look that way.

Why isnt the left going after fake gun makers? Lotsa idiots like this die pointing them at other people.

That segment of society needs to remain ignorant and dependent on government. As long as the ruling class have their limos and gated communities, the poor sub-cultures are of no concern, as long as they vote the right way.

I understand why our overlord ranchers keep them around; this only works as long as there is a vibrant middle class to insulate the 1%ers from them. History is filled with examples of what happens when the hopeless get sick & tired of it and there is no middle class to protect them.

Incredibly real looking.

I read about ten years ago how many rappers had all the choice lines in Scarface memorized. It was their favorite movie. They liked to watch it and jump up at the right scene and recite the lines along with Tony Montana.

New rules of engagement due out at anytime now.
Reminds me of the Rochester school district - too many black kids were being suspended for violence, so they eliminated about 90% of the reasons for suspensions.
Lo and behold, the numbers decreased. Success!

Put her photo up. Everone needs to see how good she looked,

Aspiring rapper? Should have been aspiring (insert real job)

[SJackson]

Thanks for the Facebook page, I guess. Had she been smart enough not to draw down on a LEO, I hope she was a talented musician, because with her command of the english language, employment opportunities would be limited. Don’t they teach English in VA?

Death by Cop—is my guess. starting to become commenplace these days.

Probably just researching her next rap album.

There isn’t enough Duck Tape in Christendom to fix that kind of stupid.

Interesting that they didn’t print her hobbies in the article.

“She’s very smart, very intelligent.”

Compared to what?
