The Game is almost over

Jayceon Terrell Taylor, better known by his rapping name The Game, could face criminal charges (he could face charges of maliciously disrupting or impeding communications over a public safety radio frequency, obstruction of justice, or other charges related to delaying a peace officer from doing their job) after a tweet from his Twitter account incited a telephone flash mob that overwhelmed the emergency phone system at one of the busiest stations of the Los Angeles County sheriff's department. The sheriff's department alleges The Game tweeted the Compton station's phone number and told his 580,000 followers to call the number if they wanted a music internship. That bellend should at least get a huge fine because his social networking faux pas meant phones at the southeast Los Angeles County station started ringing at 5:23 p.m. local time on Friday, and the lines were jammed by hundreds of calls for more than two hours, so the authorities had to bring in additional help. The homicide rate in Compton has gone down over 50 percent in recent years and crime is down in Compton, but it's particularly helpful when the public can contact the police station to report more serious issues. He has tarnished his image as a respected musician (like Chris Brown did when he beat up on Rihanna in 2009) by pulling such a stupid online prank.
