Rapper The Game arrested after mall confrontation
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — The Game, accused of rowdy behavior and refusing to remove a Halloween mask in a shopping mall, was arrested Friday on a charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

"I'm here for a concert. I got arrested for signing autographs," the 25-year-old rapper from Southern California told television station WFMY after he was released on $500 bond. "Signing a little girl's autograph got me arrested."

But police said in a statement that The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, and a group of companions were behaving disruptively and swearing at Four Seasons Town Centre.

Mall security officers said Taylor was wearing a full-face Halloween mask and cursing loudly in front of other patrons, and refused when they asked him to leave, police said. When police arrived, Taylor continued to act up and was arrested, the statement said.

A 19-year-old companion, Michael J. Taylor, was charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing an officer when he allegedly interfered with Jayceon Taylor's arrest. He also was freed on $500 bond.

Other members of the group were sprayed with pepper spray when they surrounded the officers in a threatening manner, police said. The incident was captured on videotape by a member of the group.

Jayceon Taylor said officers overreacted.

"They thought I was Rodney King, man. It was a case of mistaken identity," he told WFMY as he headed, belatedly, to a performance in nearby Winston-Salem. "It's unfair, man. Their behavior's unfair. ... Soon as I wake up in the morning, I'll be on the phone with my lawyers."

Police said they will conduct an internal investigation, as they do in all cases where officers use force.

Yo, yo, now ain't no tellin what the Game'll do, listen dawg
I blow the guts out the dutch and do the same to you
And just to get shit crackin, I drop the toaster
Grab the Louis go Sammy Sosa

Really, Mr. Game? I thought that you dealt with the law like this:

Uhh, makin mafia moves, skate from the cops
Yeah they tried stoppin ya dude
But nah, the ball, it don't stop
A shot callin if I fall then my thoughts gon' flock

"F--- wit Me" (2004)

So you're just a typical celebrity looking to sue and not swing. That's nice and all, but I thought you were, how do they say, a "Gang . . . sta"?
Wouldn't you expect rough treatment from the "'tharities" if you tell all of America you're a criminal?

:confused:

"o noes, i can't be gangk-stuuuuuh in teh public! i'm tellin my lawyers on youuuuu!!!!"

speaking of peppper spray, I know a girl who carries a huge can of BEAR REPELLENT SPRAY. She sprayed it outside to show how it was bright orange, and I accidently walked through the just the faintest wisp a moment later, and it felt like a million needles were in my throat for just 3 or 4 seconds. She accidently walked throught this invisible wisp and she almost threw up and thought that her nose was bleeding... it wasn't.

I can't imagine what it would be like to get a face full of that stuff.

He went to a mall & caused a disturbance
& when asked to leave he refused
& so the police were called
& he still refused to leave.
Whats so hard to understand?
Whats hard to understand is
why he didn't just leave when the cops showed up.

isn't that something you learn when you're about 3? don't fuck with cops?

After a Siouxsie show at B.B. King's here in NYC, security had to spray a rowdy person with mace and it filled the entire venue. Everyone couldn't stop coughing and the fire alarm had to be turned on and people were evacuated through the freight entrance. I couldn't imagine what it's like to get it right in your face.

thedoorkeeper said:

the report doesn't really get into anything specifc especially for using pepper spray.

they were asked to leave by the cops. instead, they encircled the cops. seems like a reasonable reaction, to be threatened.

Tessa said:

Until I see the video I'm not gonna be fully sure what went down, but based on the Games persona and his lame excuse I figure he was at fault, but I just don't wanna rush to judgement.

lilgish said:

A few posts ago you were advocating a boycott of that mall - sounds like you have already made a judgement that the police were in the wrong.

that was me being folksy.
