Russell Simmons deletes angry Tweet about police

Russell Simmons - 2013

Hip-hop business mogul and cultural icon, Russell Simmons, has always kept a cool head in public. But recently, he let his anger be heard on Twitter. Simmons sent out an angry tweet regarding the politicalization of the NYPD shootings by cop killer Ismail Brinsley. Simmons tweeted:

The responses and tweet from two days ago have since been deleted from the Twitter page @UncleRUSH. Replacing the tweet is a calmer more thought provoking tweet:
