MC Hammer ARRESTED! Claims To Be Victim Of Racial Profiling!
Oh for goodness sake!
If this is true, then we are SO THRILLED he is speaking up!
This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!
MC Hammer is claiming to be a victim of racial profiling after he was arrested for, according to law enforcement sources, obstructing and resisting a police officer in Dublin, California yesterday afternoon!
He took to Twitter to share his side of events:
chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said'"Are you on parole or probation?"
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet. ..
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help (MallCop) !!!But make no mistake he's dangerous ..
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge. I was citied for obstruction smh
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
You have to know me to understand I was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me .. I had just left the weight room ..
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
I will now answer his question, contrary to his personal beliefs, all people of color are not on parole or probation fat boy !!!
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
Instead of being bitter, I'm taking the opportunity to make this a "teachable moment" and "eye opener" for my many friends & colleagues.
— MC HAMMER (@MCHammer) February 23, 2013
WOW.
And these are the men and women who are supposed to be PROTECTING our communities?
Absolutely SHAMEFUL!
Especially since if he's happening to him, it's happening to COUNTLESS other innocent men and women in minority groups who may not have the voice or means to speak out against law enforcement personnel employing these "profiling" techniques.
We're just glad that Hammer took the time to stand up against what is CLEARLY inexcusable and dangerous racism!
It's 2013, people! Not the dark ages!
In fact, we bet even then, people were treated with more respect than THAT!
Enough is ENOUGH!

Would you please stop automatically taking the side of anyone who claims to be a victim of racial profiling?! That said, yea he totally was. Poor MC, great story though. lol
Well alot of these actors and singers need to get a welcome to the club card. In their glass bubble lifestyle, did they really think that because they were music artist and or celebrities they'd be excempt from what the average black man has had to endure. No pity here, Get a freakin reality check. Without your money and or fame you and all other Black men would be no more than a Black face to them who do not hesitate to label you a crimanal or ensure that you have a record. Don't look for empathy or sympathy here. Would have been better had you and others like you who've made it big, come down from your high horses and get involved to to help prevent whats become for the average a black man an everyday occurence in practically every Black community and every state.
What cop has a whistle anymore?????
Where is the other side of the story. Perez is such a liberal douche about everything! Oh tell us how UPSET you are and how UNFAIR this is- MC Hammer is probably about half right and the officer has the other half. The truth is probably in the middle. What was he stopped for? What was he doing? Most police have dash cameras- its probably on tape somewhere- dont grab one side and assume Perez!!
Way to make a snap judgment retard.. If they release the dash cam and it shows nothing but MC whatchewpullinmeoverfo acting like a turd because he was asked a QUESTION, I will be expecting your redaction and public apology to all the cops out there you've tee-ed off by calling them all unprofessional.. Go F yourself and get a real job PH
Hammer better watch out… All those derogatory comments about obesity could be viewed as discrimination.
