Ice-T in Hollywood

Who does Ice-T think he is to criticize the police when his personal record isn’t so squeaky clean (“A Rapper Goes Hollywood,” April 21)?

He complains that the police treated him like he’s “less than a dog,” yet he freely admits that he used to engage in “robbing, stealing and hustling.” Tell me, Ice-T, just how did you expect to be treated when you obviously treated others like dirt?

What especially saddens me is that in light of the Rodney G. King incident, people like Ice-T have actually gained an undeserved credibility, fueled by the current media fad known as “cop-bashing.”
