A police officer that was injured in a shoot-out with former Hot Boy Tab “Turk” Virgil has won a $10 million dollar judgment against the rapper.
The judgment stems from a shoot-out in a Memphis area apartment complex in January 2004. As SWAT team members raided the apartment seeking a cache of drugs, Deputy Chris Harris was shot in the jaw, hip arm and calf.
A jury convicted Virgil, after ballistics evidence found gunfire residue on his shorts. The rapper has maintained his innocence and denied firing a weapon.

So, if someone shot you in the face, the arm, your hip, and your calf – what should happen to them? Has nothing to do with where he’s from or the fact that the other guy was a cop.

much respect to turk, he’s a talented dude. but he gotta be much smarter than that. you live on the edge you get pushed over it. all these rappers talkin bout dope, shining, bitches, and shit. these cops ready and they not playing. if you get caught it’s over, rappers and young men in general making themselves targets and the police just pickin em off. turk just got picked off. just like don p, wayne, project pat, kim, dj drama, the whole hip hop community is being watched.
