The Game, a rapper whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, recently posted a tweet that linked to a story about the two police officers, Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, who were killed on Saturday by a gunman in Brooklyn.
The Game tweeted on Saturday, "I guess y'all 'can't breathe' either. #RIPEricGarner #AllLivesMatter @ Brighton & Hove, UK."
The tweet linked to his Instagram page that featured a New York Post story originally entitled, "2 NYPD cops shot dead ‘execution style’ as ‘revenge’ for Garner." However, that story has since been retitled, "Gunman executes 2 NYPD cops in Garner ‘revenge.'"
After some backlash on Twitter, The Game tweeted: "The comment in my last post was a DIRECT RESPONSE to the picture above: I didn't say it was cool that…" and linked to another Instagram picture of some police wearing "I Can Breathe" T-shirts.
The Game also wrote a long note on Instagram:
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 & #ShitNeedsToChangeNow but you simple minded fucks 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 their 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 YALL 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 FUCK 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 FUCK GAME or UNFOLLOW or never support my MUSIC again because I have an opinion... SO WHAT, I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK !!! [To Be Continued..]"
