On Why He Was Taken Off The Case

“The whole renewed investigation was born out of this fear of losing hundreds of millions of dollars
in this civil case. That was really the impetus to the whole investigation that I was involved in to begin with.

“Once that threat dissipated, the L.A.P.D. said, ‘You know what? We’ve spent enough time and money. We
know who killed them. The D.A.’s not going to file charges. So everyone go back to work.’ And the case ended
up getting shelved.

“I quit [the force] over the matter. That’s how frustrated I was. I was so disappointed that I was being
removed on this very ridiculous basis. [Ed. note—Read more about Kading’s Internal Affairs investigation
here.] After all that we had done, it was a personal insult.

“I could not believe that we had taken the case to near conclusion and then I got removed. They just shelved
the whole case after the Wallace camp retracted their lawsuits.”

On The L.A.P.D. Saying The Investigation Is Still Open


“That’s just lip-service. That’s what a police department is always going to say—not just the L.A.P.D., any
police department, about any unsolved murder case. They’re always going to say, ‘Yes, it’s an open investigation.
It’s an active investigation,’ but it’s really just a way to appease those types of inquiries.

“I can guarantee you that there is no proactive investigation. Those books are on the shelf. If somebody were to
call and say, ‘I have information on the Biggie Smalls murder,’ investigators would probably entertain an interview
with that. They’re not out doing anything to further the case because they’ve already concluded what happened.

“It’s not active, in the sense that you would think that there are investigators out there trying to figure out
clues. For all intents and purposes, it’s a stale investigation, that will never be closed—ever.”

On The David Mack & Amir Muhammad Theory

“The name Amir Muhammad was published in the Los Angeles Times as a suspect in Biggie’s murder. One
of the biggest problems in the whole Biggie Smalls murder investigation was that there never was [any mention of] Amir Muhammad.

“There was a jailhouse informant in L.A. county jail named Michael Robinson, who provided this very
problematic slew of different descriptors of the shooter. But he never mentioned an Amir Muhammad, he
ust put down the name Amir.

“Actually, Robinson said there was a guy named either Abraham, Ashmir, Amir, Kenny, or Keke. So we actually
got fivedifferent names associated with this potential shooter. Then he gives all these other descriptions;
He’s this Fruit of Islam guy, he’s from Compton, and all of these different descriptors of the shooter.


There was all this exaggeration of information, and a whole theory was built on it, which never had a basis
but captured the popular imagination.



“Coincidentally, there’s a whole other investigation going on behind a rogue cop named David Mack who had robbed
a bank. Russell Poole—the L.A.P.D. investigator, who was investigating Biggie’s murder—finds out about David Mack.

There’s these very circumstantial indicators that maybe this rogue cop was involved [in Biggie’s murder]. Coincidentally,
Mack has a friend named Amir Muhammad. That circumstantial connection, put this investigator down a rabbit hole.

“Now, if Russell Poole would have been responsible with that clue, he would have known that Amir Muhammad a.k.a. Harry
Billups could not have been the person that was being discussed in that clue. Harry Billups had no association with Compton,
no association with Crips, and no association with the Fruit of Islam.

“All of these supporting identifiers disqualify him as a possible suspect. The only thing that Russell Poole has to
hold onto is simply four letters: A-M-I-R. That’s it. That’s the only thing that has ever been even circumstantially
compelling. And it’s based on Russell Poole’s inability to properly treat a clue. He finds one name: A-M-I-R, and builds
a whole theory behind that, because there’s a dirty-cop who has a friend named Amir.

“There was all this exaggeration of information, and a whole theory was built on it, which never had a basis but
captured the popular imagination. Actually, the individual who brought that information to the L.A.P.D. recanted
and said, 'I made it all up. It was all bullshit.’

“Remember, Michael Robinson never says any cop [was involved with the murder]. All the clue is, is an Amir. If you
take selective information and you ignore the information that refutes your theory, you can put together a conspiracy
theory and convince people of it. You’re just selecting the information that works for you.

“The L.A.P.D. always knew the problems with Russell Poole’s theory. They knew his jailhouse informants were discredited,
they were unreliable, and they were lying. The L.A.P.D. knew that there was no basis whatsoever to [Poole’s] theory. Even
though the public picked up on it and [author/journalist] Randall Sullivan was running with it, with his book LAbyrinth,
and Russell Poole had convinced himself that it was such, the L.A.P.D. knew there was nothing behind it.”

[b]Fifteen years after Biggie's murder, retired detective Greg Kading debunks
a few bogus theories and explains why the case will never officially be solved.

Kading is neither a journalist nor a conspiracy theorist. A retired L.A.P.D. detective,
he was in charge of the special task force that investigated Christopher Wallace’s murder
between 2006 and 2009. After Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace filed suit against the City
of Los Angeles and the L.A.P.D.—seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages—the department
was highly motivated to solve the case. That’s when Kading got the assignment.

After his efforts led to two sworn confessions from people who said they played a part
in the killings of Wallace and Shakur, Kading was suddenly pulled off the case. At the
time, he was under investigation by L.A.P.D. Internal Affairs for allegedly making false
statements on an affidavit in a separate case. However, in the end, Internal Affairs cleared
Kading of any wrongdoing. Around the same time, the Wallace family’s lawsuit was dismissed.
When the 22-year veteran saw the case he built being shelved, he became so frustrated that
he quit the force.[/b]


On Biggie’s Murder

“Suge Knight was absolutely enraged. Not only had he been shot at, but his friend [Tupac Shakur]
was killed next to him in the car. Suge always knew who was responsible. He looked directly into
the eyes of Keefe D, who was in the shooter’s car. Keefe D was a member of the Southside Crips
and a well known person to Suge. That explains why the next day this huge war broke out in Compton
between Suge Knight’s gang entourage and Keefe D’s gang entourage.

“Suge Knight ended up going to jail on a probation violation, stemming from the beating of Orlando
Anderson [Ed. Note—Anderson is Keefe D’s nephew, also a Southside Crip who allegedly shot Tupac.] in
the MGM Grand hotel. While Suge was in jail, he conspired with his girlfriend. Suge gave her the
directive to get Poochie.


Poochie lay in wait outside the Petersen Automotive Museum. As soon as he became aware of where Biggie was sitting in his car, he drove up, and he shot him.



“Wardell ‘Poochie’ Fouse was paid to kill Biggie. At the time, he was a 36-year old member of the
Mob Piru Bloods. According to several Death Row insiders and FBI informants, Poochie was a down-for-the-cause,
hardcore gang member. Confidential sources from the Death Row entourage, the Mob Pirus, and [Suge’s girlfriend,
identified in Kading's book by the alias "Theresa Swann"], said Poochie had done shootings for Suge in the
past. Reggie Wright Jr.—who was the head of Death Row security—said Suge and Poochie’s relationship was different
than other members of the gang. They had a very secretive and exclusive relationship.

“[Suge’s girlfriend] and Poochie agreed to terms. He received two payments, one for $9000 and one for $4000. Poochie
lay in wait outside the Petersen Automotive Museum. As soon as he became aware of where Biggie was sitting in his car,
he drove up and he shot him.”

On Whether The Cases Will Ever Be Solved


“It comes down to how you define solved. Both law enforcement agencies—the Las Vegas Police Department and the

L.A.P.D.—have drawn the conclusions that Tupac was killed by Orlando Anderson and Biggie Smalls was killed by
Wardell ‘Poochie’ Fouse.

“Those are the facts within law enforcement. They’re considered solved internally, but the public’s definition
of solved is different. They haven’t gone through the judicial process and nobody has been prosecuted.

“Both shooters are dead. Orlando Anderson was killed outside a Compton record shop in May 1998. Poochie died
in July 2003 as a result of multiple gunshot wounds. He was shot in the back while riding his motorcycle in Compton.
He was supposedly killed as a result of in-fighting between the Mob Pirus—Suge’s Blood associates—and another Blood
gang known as the Fruit Town Pirus.


Both shooters are dead...That’s all the justice that these cases will see.


“That’s all the justice that these cases will see. The co-conspirators are never going to be prosecuted.
Unfortunately, the cases are so complicated and convoluted. These will never see criminal prosecution.

“The co-conspirators are absolutely known and I say that with conviction. I worked directly on these cases
for years and know exactly where they stand within law enforcement. They would be very problematic prosecutions
because of all of the convoluted peripheral issues that were raised during the investigation.

“The D.A. in Los Angeles knows that this is an extremely difficult situation to try and prosecute.
Here’s the problem; You’ve got [Suge’s girlfriend] confessing, and then, there was a bad move by law
enforcement to give her immunity. The shooter’s dead, the female confessor has immunity, so you just
have Suge Knight.

“The D.A.’s office in Los Angeles has a policy: They don’t prosecute murders based on the testimony
of one witness, which is now just the girlfriend. So the D.A.’s realizing, ‘OK, what are we going to do?
We’re going to prosecute Suge Knight for solicitation of murder and the whole thing’s based on the testimony
of his girlfriend? We can bring in all this circumstantial stuff and we can bring in the history between these
crews, but ultimately, a good defense attorney’s going to say, Hey isn’t this all just an elaborate cover-up,
because the L.A.P.D. actually murdered Biggie?’ The defense is going to try and turn the thing back around.
So the D.A. realizes that there’s not really a potential for a successful prosecution.”

Shakur mastered every element, every aspect of rapping- Bishop Lamont

Shakur was a master of the flow.- Fredro Starr of Onyx

Shakur spoke with brilliance and insight as someone who bears witness to the pain of those who would never have his platform. He told the truth, even as he struggled with the fragments of his identity.-Michael Eric Dyson

Every rapper who grew up in the Nineties owes something to Tupac. He didn't sound like anyone who came before him.
"-50 Cent

State University of New York at Buffalo English professor Mark Anthony Neal argued that Shakur was an example of the "organic intellectual" expressing the concerns of a larger group.He also indicated that the death of Shakur has left a "l[b]eadership void amongst hip-hop artists.[/b]" He describes Tupac as a "walking contradiction", a status that allowed him to "make being an intellectual accessible to ordinary people."

Professor of Communications Murray Forman, of Northeastern University, stressed that the fans have succeeded in resurrecting Tupac as an ethereal life force."

Professor of Music at Northeastern University, Emmett Price, compared Shakur's public image to that of the trickster-figures of African-American folklore which gave rise to the urban "bad-man" persona of the post-slavery period. He ultimately described Shakur as a "prolific artist" who was "driven by a terrible sense of urgency" in a quest to "unify mind, body, and spirit"

PoliticsWe Followed The Chopper Until It Crashed - WITNESS by baslone(op): 12:07pm On Mar 15, 2012
Iliya John, an eyewitness who saw the police helicopter that crash landed at Kabong
area of Gada Biyu yesterday, said some of the residents who noticed that the chopper
had problem, followed it until it finally crashed.

A Deputy Inspector General of Police, John Haruna and three others were killed in the crash.

John, who was spoke to our correspondent in Jos yesterday, said , “We all saw the
aircraft when it was flying very low, people quickly noticed there was something
wrong with the aircraft and some started to follow it shouting warning to people
because it was flying very low.

“People first started coming out and pointing at the way it was flying so low, it
was not as the normal ones (helicopters) that we see every day flying very high up
in the sky.”

John said it was by the grace of the God that the aircraft did not kill civilians,
pointing out that the helicopter emitted a very loud sound to probably forewarn residents.

He said, “the reason why the aircraft did not record high civilian casualty most
especially in the houses that it feel on was because most people have gone to work
while others have left for one errand.”

According to him, the people in the Kabong area have never witnessed such a tragic
incident, adding that the way the aircraft crashed and caught fire “there was no way
the occupants could have survived.”

PoliticsPolice Inspector, Soldier, 4 Others Killed In Adamawa by baslone(op): 1:39pm On Mar 13, 2012
Mubi – A police inspector, a soldier and four other persons were killed
in a Monday night attack by unidentified gunmen in Mubi, Adamawa.

Eyewitnesses told journalists in Mubi that a unit of military patrol
team were also attacked by the gunmen, injuring the men on duty.

The witnesses said that unidentified gunmen attacked a military patrol
vehicle on Ahmadu Bello Way in Mubi.

The attack was followed by multiple explosions and sporadic gunfire, which
started at about 7.30 p.m. and lasted throughout the night in various parts of the town.

The witnesses said that some of the gunmen were riding in a car while others were on motorcycles.

One of the witnessed, Malam Bala Muhammad, told reporters that, the gunmen, riding
in a car detonated an explosive device and opened fire on the moving military patrol vehicle.

He said that the soldiers, who were under heavy gun attack, responded to the fire in
self-defence, adding that one soldier was killed and four others wounded in the surprise attack.

Muhammad said, “the gunmen fled the area, leaving one soldier killed and four others
wounded. One police officer and other persons were also killed in the attack.

“We could not ascertain the identities of the four persons, whether they were pedestrians or gunmen.”

When contacted Tuesday, the Adamawa Commissioner of Police, Mr Aderene Shinaba, referred
journalists to the command’s Public Relation Officer (PPRO) Mrs Altine Daniel.

But Daniel said that the command would address the press on the incident later on Tuesday.
