US hip hop star The Game was arrested on Friday night in North Carolina just hours before he was due to play a show for wearing a Halloween mask in a shopping mall.
 
The rapper was said to be signing a little girl’s autograph at the time when he was approached by police and asked to remove his mask. When the rapper refused he and a bodyguard were sprayed with pepper spray and arrested.
 
A police report states that The Game (aka Jayceon Taylor) was behaving disruptively and swearing and refused to leave the shopping mall when asked. Pepper spray was used when his companions surrounded police in a threatening manner. He was then arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
 
Speaking to WFMY-TV after the incident The Game said "They thought I was Rodney King, man. It was a case of mistaken identity, it's unfair, man. Their behavior's unfair."
 
So let’s get this straight, the cops were scared of a big man in a mask and a little girl wasn’t . Hmm.
