Rapper The Game’s Response To NYPD Officers Shot Dead: “I Guess Y’all Can’t Breathe Either”

West Coast hip hop rapper The Game sends a tweet
to the NYPD officers shot dead in their vehicle.

Not surprisingly, many are condemning the tweet,
and a lot of those tweets are from fans, some of
which are now proclaiming to be ex-fans in light of
the cold-hearted message directed at the slain police
officers.

News has just broke of two Brooklyn, New York,

police officers who were shot and killed in an

ambush attack in their patrol car. While the story is

still developing, the lone gunman has been identified

as 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley. Immediately after

executing the two officers, Brinsley fled the scene on

foot and into a subway where he turned the gun on

himself.

Just hours before the murder, Brinsley posted a

cryptic message on his Instagram, in which he made

the statement:

An image of a pistol accompanied the post, which is

presumably the murder weapon. The hashtag

#ShootThePolice was also used along with two other

ones making reference to Michael Brown and Eric

Garner.

As for rapper The Game’s response to the NYPD

officers killed , a second post has been sent in

response to the immense criticisms he received. He

maintains that the original post was not directed at

the murdered police officers but rather at a pic of

New York counter protesters donning shirts that read

“I can breathe.” The shirts were a response to the

popular protest slogan “I can’t breathe,” which

Garner uttered when he was taken down by a group

of NYPD officers, one of which had him in a

chokehold.

Read his entire post in his Instagram page.

In the lengthy response, The Game also chastised his

critics for taking his first post out of context and

reiterates his anger of the recent incidents that

involved the death of black men at the hands of white

police officers.

Rapper The Games’ response to the NYPD, whatever

his intentions were, is clearly not the right way to

gain favor with his fans.
