Minton told\u00a0Associated Press. \u201cIt is clear from video clips and witness reports that the patrons and fans attending the show on that date were full of positive energy appropriate for this type of event and never exhibited any anger or aggression whatsoever.\u201dThe rapper was arrested last Saturday, two days after his show at Austin\u2019s Scoot Inn, after police alleged the\u00a0Odd Future\u00a0frontman incited fans to barge through the entrance of the club. According to AP, he faces up to a year in prison and a $4,000 fine if convicted.After police released video of\u00a0fans running through a gate while Tyler yelled, \u201cJust run in right now\u2026Fuckin\u2019 do it,\u201d Minton argued that authorities misrepresented what happened.\u00a0\u201cFor law enforcement or the media to describe the rush of fans through the gate and the subsequent benign, boisterous activity as a riot is an unfortunate and inaccurate description of what occurred,\u201d Minton wrote.RELATEDOdd Future’s Hodgy Shares Hard-Hitting Single ‘We Never Knew’Earl Sweatshirt Is Ready to Meet You HalfwayHow Odd Future’s Jimmy Fallon Debut Brought Tumblr Energy To The Mainstream\u201cTyler is not a violent individual,\u201d added Minton. \u201d And would never deliberately engage in any activity that would put another person at risk of being hurt.\u201dChristian Clancy,\u00a0Tyler, the Creator\u2019s manager, weighed in on his\u00a0Tumblr\u00a0about his client and the incident. Full statement below:Tyler had a punk rock moment at the converse\/thrasher show at sxsw. however the energy and intent of that show was not anger or aggression.. kumbaya?\u00a0of course not. \u00a0but this simply\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0as its being portrayed.\u00a0no one was hurt. u likely don\u2019t believe me (i get it..) find the whole show on youtube.. just seeing an edited 7 seconds of kids running\/walking in doesn\u2019t exactly sum it up.\u00a0his shows are much more of a positive release than a build up of aggression.. (not unlike how rage against the machine or metallica shows were therapy for me when i was\u00a0growing up..)\u00a0everyone was happy after the show. zero bad energy backstage. as his manager no one came up to me regarding the \u201cincident.\u201di understand how easy it is to paint tyler as a bad guy.. i honestly do.. but as someone who has spent a whole lot of time around him i can only say dig deeper. ask his fans. ask his friends. ask my daughter. this is a guy who has never had a drink or drug in his life. this is a guy who is\u00a0building his own businesses and challenging the old ones. offensive? maybe, depending on where you are standing but\u00a0only on the surface. google can give u plenty of things to be offended by but if u dig it disappears. shit you might even be inspired. \u00a0if nothing else ud at least have another perspective even if u disagree with his approach.. im not here to defend every move tyler makes, but i will stand by him and defend his character\u00a0because i know him, the context, and have witnessed the growth those who are combining this with a incredibly serious tragedy that happened the night prior are off base and our hearts go out to those who were injured and their families. tyler was not at the venue and received the info of what happened like everyone did.. in shock.. we all quietly had our own individual way of dealing with the heaviness of it all. thats not something you process quickly."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.mbfc.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tyler, the Creator\u2019s Lawyer Calls \u2018riot\u2019 Tag \u2018Inaccurate Description\u2019","item":"https:\/\/www.mbfc.com\/blog\/tyler-the-creators-lawyer-calls-riot-tag-inaccurate-description\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
