H. Rap Brown, former Black Panther, allegedly shoots 2 police officers (Prince connection)

This news started materializing last Friday morning and I thought
nothing of it until CNN and CNN Headline News mentioned the
words "H. Rap Brown."



If I understand this correctly, H Rap Brown, now known as Jamil
Abdullah Al-Amin, shot two Fulton County (Atlanta, Ga.) deputies
after he was served an arrest for theft and impersonating an
officer. One of the deputies eventually died Friday (17 March)
after the Thursday night incident.



"H. Rap Brown" is mentioned in the lyrics to the extended remix
of "Come On," which was released in late Summer 1998. Other than
the obvious mention, what was prince thinking when he wrote the
extended lyrics? And who is Angela D? Anyone have any insite who this
Angela is?
