50 Cent is calling for action after a New York state judge threatened to shoot Black teenagers at a high school graduation party. The incident, involving State Supreme Court Justice Erin Gall, came to light earlier this week with the release of police bodycam footage following an investigation.
The videos show Justice Gall addressing the Black teens, instructing them to leave the party following a scuffle over uninvited guests. She is heard saying, “You’re not going to find your keys. You got to call an Uber and get off the property,” and adding, “You’re going to get a cop escort home.” Gall also tried to get the police to arrest the teens for trespassing, asserting, “I’ve done this for a million years. I’m a lawyer. I’m a judge. I know this.” In a shocking statement, she added that if the teens returned for their keys, “you can shoot them on the property. I’ll shoot them on the property.”
50 Cent was outraged by the judge’s behavior. On Wednesday (July 24), he took to Instagram to share a report featuring the bodycam footage. “SMH she should be removed,” he captioned the post. “This is bad. Repost this video.” A judicial watchdog panel agreed, ruling that Gall should be removed from office. The panel stated that Gall “repeatedly invoked her judicial office,” while attempting to get the Black teens arrested.
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued its report on Monday (July 22), recommending Gall’s dismissal. The report found that Gall “created at least the appearance that she harbored racial bias,” during the incident on July 1, 2022. “Her wide array of misconduct severely undermined public confidence in the judiciary and in her ability to serve as a fair and impartial judge,” the commission concluded.
Gall’s attorney, Robert Julian, has vowed to challenge the decision in the Court of Appeals, according to CBS News. Meanwhile, Gall is suspended with pay, earning an annual salary of $232,600.
The incident has sparked significant public outcry, with many echoing 50 Cent’s call for Gall’s removal from office to ensure justice and maintain trust in the judiciary system.
