“They ain't say they were the police,” he said. “If they said they were the police, we would have no need to fire.”

Is the line I noticed. I often wonder what folks who speak like this expect their job opportunities to be..PR director for a large corp with a 100k salary and perks??? I will be the first to admit messing up some of our fine language but not due to lack of trying!

Exactly. But to critique this 'language' usage (its not even Ebonics) will get you labeled a racist and subject to a Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton tongue lashing.

I grew up on the Southwest Side of Chicago. While not exactly as bad as a Brooklyn 'accent', we suuuure could butcher English. Like: 'hunnert', 'over by dare', 'goin to da jewels', and 'sout side'. And 'da' was used instead of 'the' all the time. A prime example is the current Mayor Richie Daley, from my then nearby neighborhood of 'Bridgeport'. He had to take Diction Lessons for a couple years before he went into politics so he could lose his 'Bridgeport accent'.

But as bad as all that was. It 'ain't' even close to what these people say today. And NO amount of Billions thrown down the Black Hole of 'Publik Skuuls', will correct it.
