Tank aka Durrel Babbs speaks on being tasered in N.O. this All-Star weekend:

“The most frustrating part of the entire incident is knowing that I did not do anything to pose a threat but was treated like a criminal. With a clean-cut image and a lady by my side, the law took matters into their own hands and chose to endanger my safety and those accompanying me. It’s 2008 and New Orleans is still very much in trouble beyond the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I’m a living witness.”

    If it happened they way he said it did.. then something really needs to be done about the law system in NO. In the aftermath of Katrina and the corruptness of the law enforcement there that was already an issue… you would think something would have been done by now.

    New Orleans is a beautiful, cultural city… I don’t think he is dogging NO but it’s corrupt law enforcement that has loooong been an issue way before Katrina hit. I used to live near NO and the gap between in the financial structure between blacks and whites is sooo evident. The black population is poverty level while most of the white population is upper middle class to rich.

    LOL!

  • Milio

    Why isn’t he on “which one would you hit”?

    Furthermore, this is not just a N.O. problem…this is an epidemic that’s infected our whole country! When is this country going to accept the fact that there ARE bad apples in the police bunch?

    But I guess if cops are killing unarmed black men and still not going to jail then being tasered won’t even cause a stir. How sad!

    @Green Eyed Diva..I hear you. I used to live in Baton Rouge up to about a year ago. N.O. law enforcement has been corrupted for years. Katrina only made things worse. Its so sad. Those ‘good ole boys” don’t care about the minorities there. Just those rich white folks! But its like that in alot of the cities in Louisiana.

    Serves his sell out ass right. He was probably walking around with some White ho and got caught by the police with a white woman. I’d taser all the black men if I had the chance — slave niggers!

  • Cage

    You know.. I’m honestly starting to think SMDH is a straight up white man….

    Why the hell does that man talk like a malt liquor ad? He sounds cheesier than Billy Dee Williams dipped in Velveeta.

  • Sarafina

    I think there should be many more pictures of Tank and less pictures of JD. Hmmmmmm?

  • PrettyMissSunshine

    @ Everyone

    SMDH ONLY WANTS ATTENTION. SO LETS NOT GIVE IT TO HIM/HER/IT. IGNORE THIER IGNORANCE, SO FROM THIS POINT ON HE/SHE/IT KNOWN AS SMDH DOESN’T EXIST.

    WHAT A LAME!!!

  • http://Slurpingjizzsince1978.com SMDH

    That sound just like some plantation nigger ho trying to be accepted by her Black master who is waiting to catch a glimpse of his White mastas wife. And Cage if I WAS a white man, you’d probably be trying to f*ck my wife or steal from me or do anything BUT take care of a sister. You all hate on all Black women!

  • Darth Paul

    Only NOPD SWAT uses tasers. The regular cops do NOT. I call shenanigans.

  • PrettyMissSunshine

    Never been to N.O. But after all the horror stories don’t know if I actually want to. :-(

  • I’m Just Me

    @ Cage…what up stranger!!

    Hope you are having a good day so far!

    Morning everyone!

    VERY IGNORANT COMMENT!

  • deafjam04

    @Mr. Anderson

    Thank you for sharing that with us. I am viewing it now. I’m in shock and just feeling really sick to my stomach!

  • JaliliMaster

    SMDH, previously, there were some things that you would write that I actually agreed with. But nowadays, you seem to have gone overboard. I do, in fact, believe that you are a black female, and sista, you need help, ASAP!

    Sorry, I was too distracted by his lips to read this article!

  • and another one…….

    Oh and while we on the New Orleans tip Juvie could get it on Sundays after church.

  • NotoriousOne

    @ Mr. Anderson…

    I remember the Larry Davis incident quite clearly. Born & raised in the NYC I am not really surprised at ANY of the allegations of corrupt officers. And the accounts of the Special Tactical Unit that was recently busted for stealing drugs from dealers just goes to show that the corruption continues. Good look on the heads-up though.

    Damn–He wasn’t with a sista? Sheeeeyit! If he was, she would’ve “ride ir die” with ‘em. I bet Becky stood on the sidelines yellin’ “Stop! leave him A-LONEEE!!!!”

    ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    **whew**

    Hey..I lived in N.O. and that whole weekend was a success for the city. This 1 instance should not give the city a black-eye. Tank was wrong….he is no different than anybody else. With a incident like this he was advised he could not walk into the crime scene. What! Is he above the law? It’s just another case of a celebrity who thinks he is above the law. He then argued w/the police and thought they should know who he was…duh…. he got what he deserved. If everyone else was expected to cooperate why did he think he was different.. People please understand.. N.O. is struggling and we don’t need any negative feedback. Don’t you all come to N.O. and have a great time? Let’s keep it that way!

  • jimy2001

    OMG, so attractive, i saw her blog on multiraciallove.com. The blog is sincere and attractive. every one needs something new,It’s said most famous stars has tried to seek some hot guys for interracial relationship or joy. Maybe sometimes you need to make your life more crazy.

  • LEESA

    Just goes to show ya! When the cops say move, you better keep it moving!

    Tank probably tried to play the “Don’t you know who I am game”, and got the hell TASERED out of him!

    He’ll think twice next time, I bet!!

  • http://www.lovingmeans@aol.com 1TruDiva STILL can’t get her gravie up!

    Why Tank look like he could be Forrest Whitaker’s son?

    hmmmmm…….

  • reese

    FORGET ALL THAT OTHER NONSENSE IM JUST LOOKING AT HIS FINE ASS! YALL GOTTA ADMIT THE BROTHER IS FINE!!

  • blahblah

  • YourMom

    If it happened like that it would have blown up by now and mediatakeout wouldn’t be the first with the story. NOPD told Tank who was drunk no and his drunk a** started that do you know who I am s***. This is the N.O. don’t come down with that hollywood junk. Lebron and Jay-Z found that out also that night
