The Chicago Police Department formally apologized to Ice Cube Tuesday (July 22) after issuing an alert that described a man suspected in a series of sexual assaults in the Wicker Park area as looking like the rapper, who is in Chicago filming "Barbershop 2."

Over the weekend, the police described the suspect as a black male in his mid-20s, who "resembles the popular rap artist Ice Cube." When the local television station WBBM-TV, which is owned and operated by CBS, aired the statement on Monday, they accompanied the alert with footage from one of Ice Cube's videos.

A spokeswoman for the televison station admitted that the station used the video, but said that the inclusion of Ice Cube's name came directly from the police-issued community alert. But a spokesman for the Chicago Police said, "We acknowledged the information should not have been on the alert. We took immediate corrective action. We apologize to Ice Cube for what was an honest mistake and came with no ill intent."

The alert was later re-issued with no further reference to the rapper.

probably not. why would they issue an appology?
it probably was an honesy mistake, a stupid one
but everyone screws up every now and then.

and to the kid who said the motherfucking feds... no.
feds are FBI agents. im sure the FBI wasnt involved.
so it was the police or the "popo" or "5-0" or "pigs"
whatever the current 'cool' slang is now.
