Sounds like borderline racism to me.
Lets teach these black people a lesson.
That's not what the police and the justice system should be used for.
BC.
The racist thing is asinine. Stupid argument. Embarrassing argument. I cringe (for you).
Here, let me spell it out for you.
The world is filled with scumbags. Some that are criminals. The scumbags and the police play a cat and mouse game. The police try to find charges that can stick, the criminal tries to stay out of jail.
The way I read that article, is that some people in that video have been on the police radar for a LONG time. They have slipped through the cracks. They have likely committed lots of crimes.
So when the video evidence of an actual crime being committed, you can bet your top dollar that a cop will press charges. Even a trivial charge, that can get someone off the streets for a few years.
Cops DO NOT CARE about a rap video with drugs and guns in it. Almost ALL of them have drugs or guns in it. Who cares!! But if its someone on their radar, and they have got away with so many crimes for years........ you get these kinds of prosecutions.
There you go. You have been educated.

You answered your own questions. Yes these "people" were found in possession of drugs. Yes these people were selling drugs. Yes these people were likely terrorizing their neighborhoods. And perhaps these people even have a murder or three tied to them. Good riddance.
