A police chief in Ohio has mocked rapper Kanye West after he compared his on-stage performance to being like in a war or being a policeman at work.
In an interview to radio recently, West, 36, drew an analogy that the dangerous of his risky stage acts is like being a police officer at work or being in war, reported Ace Showbiz.
However, David Oliver, a Police officer, from Brimfield Police Department in Ohio, has written an open letter on Facebook.
"I want to thank you for putting your life on the line for all of us every day. I know that being a rapper is tough work. I have tried to rap, and it is very difficult to keep up with the pulse of the rhyme flow," Oliver said in the letter.
"Your job is just some very dangerous work. Most people don't consider... If you rap really fast, without a chance to inhale, you could pass out and hit your head," he added.
Chief Oliver later suggested that West join the military. "When the Taliban starts shooting at you, perhaps you could stand up and let the words flow. It could be something like 'I'm Kanye West, wearing a flak vest," he wrote
"I'm sure they would just drop weapons and surrender. You could quite possibly end all wars, just from the enemy being star-struck," he added.
The officer has asked West to check himself.
"Your line of thinking is part of the problem in the world today... Which include entertainers thinking they are something more than just entertainers. I know it is supply and demand and the demand for your services is high. I get economics," he wrote.
"What I do not get is you ever comparing what you do for a living to our heroic military members, who are always in harm's way... And my brother and sister police officers who have to go to work carrying weapons and wearing a bullet-proof vest to protect themselves. Check yourself, before you wreck yourself... Chief Oliver," he added.
