Common was invited by First Lady Michelle Obama to appear at a poetry reading on May 11, 2011 at the White House.[28] This caused furor with the New Jersey State Police and their union,[29] who disagreed with his lyrical content. The president of the New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association voiced concern to the White House. They cite the song "A Song For Assata" about a member of the Black Liberation Army and step-aunt of deceased rapper Tupac Shakur named Assata Shakur, previously known as Joanne Chesimard,[30] who was convicted in 1977 of the first degree murder of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster.

At another poetry reading, Common said, “flyers say ‘free Mumia’ on my freezer,†a reference to Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was controversially convicted of killing Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Common stated, "The one thing that shouldn't be questioned is my support for the police officers and troops that protect us every day."
Hmmmm.
