In Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Jamal Knox and Rashee Beasley (2013), the defendants were charged with making "terroristic threats" after their rap song "F* the Police" appeared on YouTube. This unique case (similar only to U.S. v. Elonis of the same year) exposes significant issues within the law: ambiguity surrounding the law’s definitions of threat and the problematic assumption at court that rap as evidence is a literal text or confessional. It also, however, reveals a certain consistency in the court’s treatment of music: general dismissal. That mishandling of music, in this case, allowed for a rather drastic translation of "F* the Police" – a court-constituted violence credited to the defendants alone.
