Dallas Police Officer Regina Smith Fired for Rap Video as Lucille Baller

A Dallas police officer has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation after her double life as a foul-mouthed rapper was revealed.

According to WFAA the woman is Dallas Police Lieutenant Regina Smith, who commands two investigative units at the Dallas Police Department. Her husband– who was also a police officer– was killed in the line of duty in 2009, and WFAA adds that the city “mourned with her.”

Smith was outed after people noticed one of her videos on her site “The Big Rush In,” named after her husband’s nickname “the big Russian,” according to CBS11.

WFAA has more (emphasis added):

“Lucy keep it real, I’m going to tell you like it is. Don’t push Ms. Lucy, because you won’t like the consequences,” the lyrics of the song say. “Lucy got a drawer full of all day suckers, don’t mess with me, or I will shoot the [expletive], ‘cuz Lucille Baller she been to hell and back.”

She boasts with threats towards those who cross her, like many rappers.

[...]

On the website, she is wearing her police uniform and talks about the department. While sitting a table talking to some women, she says, “And you know what I would do to somebody who tried to take advantage of me? You see this bullet right here? I’ll stick it from the rooter to the tooter and bring it out.”

Later in the video, she pulls out her revolver, which she calls “Lucy” and pretends to fire it.

Here’s the rap video:

WFAA reportedly asked a criminologist to weigh in on the case:

It’s inappropriate action by a police officer – especially a high-ranking officer – to the extent it talks about killing people, and well, that’s criminal activity and you simply cannot have it,” said Dr. Sam Walker, Emeritus Professor of Criminal Justice as the University of Nebraska.

He said the videos send a bad message to the community.

“You could have kids in the community saying, ‘Hey, this police officer is talking about shooting people, why can’t we?’” Walker said.

Smith says she has no comment, but will “deal with whatever happens.”

“We all enjoy artistic freedom,” Professor Walker added, according to the Dallas Morning News, “but when we have certain jobs, especially jobs as police officers, there’s some limits of what we can say and do.”

She was getting close to the bust of a century – the bad guys turned it into a scandal. That’s life.

So….the cop has a seccond “gig”…big deal! Many people have more than one job! several of my friends are lawyers, doctors, (and other)….Their “seccond-gig” is a small jazz/rock/blues band! They have their “day-gig”, make almost no$$ for the band but it is soooo much fun!! They get together for about 3-4 times a year to practice and play-gig. One of them actually belonged to “The Commedy Club” in Chicago(2nd-gig/fun), earlier for about 4-5yrs. He was not kicked out of his hi-power’d lawyer-job for it!

  For G-WHIZ. That’s all fine and dandy that your ‘high-powered’ lawyer buddies jazz it up and put people in stitches on the Chicago comedy club circuit while Rom Emanuel allows the city to be taken to the pits of hell. When I am commenting on Ms. Baller, I comment because she is a law enforcement officer and chooses RAP to vent out her frustrations and by threating to shoot people if they ‘mess’ with her. I’m not even going to cramp my hands up typing on how rap is repulsive. It is no mystery to me why cities and youth in America are ignorant, illerate, in a drug stooper and laugh and think it is just hilarious to video things such as fights and assaults. It all stems from crap like this Lucy!!!

‘Lucille Baller’ huh?? A law enforcement officer for the city of Dallas and a foul mouth rapper?? Outstanding. I’m with REALMAN30 who says this is what we get when we hire on a quota. I’m going to have to correct him and say I don’t think she would make the Costco staff because she might be too busy ‘ballin’ sellin CDs out da trunk by the Cotton Bowl. If you don’t believe that there are many people without jobs who are much more qualified than officer Baller do yourself a little research throughout the state of Texas and look at police chiefs, fire chiefs and other positions that the citizens can not vote on in an election. You might just see a little pattern developing.

When someone is in a position of leadership you should be held to a high standard of behavior. How can you expect to discipline someone else for things if you yourself are undisciplined?

Leadership is not only the skill of leading others but is also your character (what you are inside). The Dallas PD has the right and the responsibility to hold her to a high standard of behavior, on and off the job. If someone wants to be questionable in their behavior they need to be ready to pay the price.

  She crossed a line when using her official uniform. How much the sanction should be is debatable.
  
  I wonder if Ms Smith is has changed radically the same way Uchitel did after the death of her love one on 911. I can’t see her deceased husband allowing such outrageous rap. I am guessing that he wouldn’t mind her rapping or keeping it real, but not quite like this.
  
  I see Ms Smith rap as rage against the system everything – the machine those outside the machine & everyone in the rat race who make it suck.

  There was a time when people had class and dignity. A time when people who did this sort of thing were considered immoral, or at least immature.
  
  Good for DPD for taking action.
  
  Some positions require an expectation of a higher standard of behavior, police officer being one of them.
  
  My guess is you grew up in the post-Clinton era…He was the original “character doesn’t matter’ poster child.

  I know you didn’t get the Bronze Star with thinking like that, if you ever got it at all, or just a wanna be.
  Officers/Leaders have to live by a different standard than those they command or serve with. It must be a set of standards that is set so high that it sets them apart from the run of the mill persons under their command. Once you lower those standards there is no going back, it has NOTHING to do with the 1st Amendment or any other rights.
  You lead by “example”, so if you want to be a filthy mouthed rapper, you hide behind the Constitution, if you want to be a proven leader, you respect it.
  All things in Life are choices.

Isn’t diversity grand?

This is what comes from hiring based on a quota!
At best she’s qualified to sell costume jewelry at Costco.

  Diversity is grand with exception of those who resent it. Probably a real man would not be judgmental of a real woman. One does not advance in law enforcement unless one works hard in Texas. Quota indeed. She is admin.leave and yep, she may be fired. She goofed. The persons who do work at Costco also have jobs. In this day and age that is prime. And to be respected.

  I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t like my law enforcement “hanging” with the culture of the rap stars. I don’t like a gangsta cop. And they wonder why they get such a bad name? And to have your pic taken with a young thing flashing a gang sign? I assume it’s one, I wouldn’t know. Makes you wonder if she can do her job if one of her homies got nabbed?

This woman is in charge of investigative units? Am I alone or does she seem to exercise questionable judgment? I’d hate to think I’ve become one of those guys in my old age.

  Agreed. I spent almost 10 years in the music industry, and I firmly believe that rap “music” has destroyed true music. I was a musician, AND a Board mixer/producer at a recording studio, and when I started seeing little punks coming in “rapping” I would just laugh, and say, I am a Pink Floyd Listening White dude, and in 10 minutes I can write a better song than the one you have been “working” on for months…
  
  Then I would sit down behind a nice Korg and prove it…. Eventually I got so sick of cRap music that I had to get out of the industry, as I could not take it any longer…

  I understand with Mr. Beck living in Texas now that many stories about Texas are going to be a faucet turned on full blast. And we have all kind of stories naturally. Now, I have not read this story yet and will when finished. My comment has to do with the fact that one of our most honorable Texans, Zig Ziglar died and The Blaze hasn’t noticed. Fox recognized him. I feel sure Mr. Beck would have admired him. If you are too young to remember him what a terrific speaker he was. Thank you.
