As the owner of more than a million Twitter followers, The Game’s musings can create tremors in cyberspace.
This point is crystallized when The Game sent this thought soaring through Twitter-verse about the horrific ambush murders of two New York police officers over the weekend:
The Game was pummeled by detractors who said he was being extremely callous towards the officers. The blowback was intense enough that The Game had to come back and clarify his thoughts:
Finally, The Game took to his other social media platform to elaborate on his controversial thoughts. Take a look at what he had to say:
The comment in my last post was a DIRECT RESPONSE to the picture above: I didn’t say it was cool that 2 cops were murdered senselessly while sitting in their car. These weren’t the cop(s) that killed ERIC GARNER so it wasn’t necessary they die in that manner the same as it wasn’t AT ALL necessary ERIC GARNER die in the way he did. My comment also suggested that #AllLivesMatter & #S— NeedsToChangeNow but you simple minded f— skipped right over the real message to pull whatever negativity you could from my post … As expected. One thing about me is, I’m ME. I’m not running from my views or opinions & I’m standing firm on anything I say … So while all of you trying to find the HATE in my post, there is NONE. What there is …. is an opinion of a man that believes the deaths of innocent people are never OKAY. Never has been !!! It just so happens, that I’m BLACK. It just so happens I grew up as a minority & have been a victim of racial profiling & police harassment in my youth the same as many so I can relate to the continuous STRUGGLE to change the way the GOVERNMENT deals with it’s own employees when they’re supposed to be highly trained professionals who loosely abuse the right to them wearing the badge given to them. “PROTECT & SERVE” does not mean “CHOKE & KILL” an innocent un-armed man…. Retaliating for Eric Garner’s murder the way the MEDIA portrays it happened wasn’t the answer either but it happened…. SO WHAT NOW… Do police KILL more civilians ??? Or do civilians KILL more police ??? Y’all can’t see what’s happening to our country ? Or all Y’ALL still too focused on an iPhone app to get off of it to take a REAL LOOK AROUND ??? & you ask me, do I like police: NO !!! Do I hate police: NO !!! Have I experienced more police abusing their authority than not: YES !!! So that’s why “I” say F— THE POLICE !!! That’s “MY OPINION”…. Does that mean I think it’s dope that 2 innocent cops were murdered: NOPE. But does it change my view on crooked police: NOPE !!! So… You can hate me, not like me, say F– GAME or UNFOLLOW or never support my MUSIC again because I have an opinion… SO WHAT, I DO NOT GIVE A F— !!! [To Be Continued..]”
