Court Upholds Ruling For Game To Pay $5 Million To Policemen

    A North Carolina court upheld a 2010 ruling yesterday for Game to pay $5 million in compensatory damages to five Greensboro police officers.

    According to MyFox8, the officers filed a defamation suit against the West Coast rapper and Bungalo Records, Inc. in 2006. They claim they were libeled and slandered and that their identities were wrongfully used in Game’s DVD Stop Snitchin’ Stop Lyin’.

    The footage was originally lensed during an incident in October 2005 at Four Seasons Mall, where Game was supposed to perform. After mall security asked them to leave for disturbing the peace, officers arrived to arrest Game for criminal trespassing, communicating threats and disorderly conduct.

    Officers claim that the footage was “heavily edited” for the DVD and made it seem as though Game was wrongfully arrested.

    Each officer would receive $1 million each for the compensatory damages. Additionally, they claimed $10 million in punitive damages, though the appeals court decided that a new trial will determine if the damages are warranted.

    1. damn this must be one of the most epic fail in hip hop history, does Game even have 5 mil. and on top of that have to pay them 1 million dollars each

    2. thats funny… when the police makes an even bigger mistake… like giving u jail time and u end up provin u innocent.. they dont give u 1 million.. but just cuz a dvd apperance.. they want %million.. cmon ameica

      1. I was just giving u ONE of many examples… tell me any millionaire that earned his million from suing the police? even when cops kill innocent people.. they dont give one million to the family… open ur eyes… i could write a book just explaining but.. maybe u got ur eyes closed… go talk to the family of those who got death sentence and 35 years later they found out he was innocent… how many millions do they deserve in that case… if mere cops on a dvd deserve 1 million?

    3. 1 mill to each cop? thats eff’d up, largely.

      why not put some of the court ruling money into donation form atleast to a charitable organization? it was at a public mall no? why not put some of that money back into the public, and not into 5 slimey cops hands.

    4. damn homie LOL the funnything is game doesnt even have 5m’s LOL easy come easy Goooooooooooooooooooo & its called karma we know u had RoseMo killed bcos he knocked u out infront of ya son chump

    5. Tote all the guns you want. Push Weight. Fuck bitches. In the end, nothing beats that education money. That, “my lawyer gets 15% of punitive damages dough.” Keep writing rhymes while this man is cashing checks! Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

    6. YO!! THIS IS STRAIGHT UP EXTORTION. 1 million a piece for what? did he get convicted of manslaughtering anyones family NO! then why are they asking for this. Are we in Mexico or something?!?!? The man proly has a million or so left over and this just seems totally biased and non-objective. They r making an example out of him and he unfortunately puts himself in these positions

    7. When wrongful imprisonment of that nature takes place and somebody does years for a crime they didn’t commit, the courts do pay highly in compensation for the wrongful imprisonment, in fact they are the 1’s that push the payout to occur, the wrongful imprisonment victim really doesn’t have to do much in pursuit of the compensation.

    8. thats is such bullshit….ure telln me that a video that mostly only ppl in the hood saw…caused that much damage to there lives??? and how is 1 million gonna make it any betyter?? fuckin pigs….if u dont wanna get shit from ppl….dont become a peice of shit cop cuz u got picked on in highschool and now u want som authority…fuckin clowns…wutever fuck them…game will piss out 5 million and make it back in a year…those piggs will never make game money

    9. I wonder how much familys get compensated when police kill there love ones for nothing and they dont find a weapon? It better be more than a million…yeah right the family dont get shit and nothing ahppens to the officer but a week suspension smh fuck the pigs and the whole fucked up system

    10. Aw aw aw aw aw you made me look bad in a dvd aw aw aw now everybody hates me, as if they didn before aw aw aw most people never even seen this dvd including the guy writing this comment aw aw aw i deserve a million dollars because even though im a PIG, theres a way to make me look even worse

    11. They want 10 million because Game talked shit on a DVD? Who do they think they are, CIA operatives? Uniform cops have become some of the greedest motherfuckers out there.

      1. cops win a lawsuit. rapper used to sell crack for a living, turning his own people in his neighborhood into junkies to make money. the cops are greedy, the rapper is just hustlin. ….really?

      2. Anon2 must be a cop’s kid. Speak up when they kill people or use excessive force and get suspended with pay and the families get nothing. A lot of these people are not dealers, gangsters, or felons. And before you punch your keyboard with a response remember there are 50 states that have archives to back me up.

      3. ^implying all cops use excessive force.
        ^implying all cops murder people.
        ^implying archived documentation of isolated incidents years apart and states away will prove a point that all cops use excessive force regularly.

        try again, white knight. the fact of the matter is, i pointed out that this specific rapper claims to have gang ties and to have sold drugs for a living before his music career. he did something stupid now and got caught. these specific cops are not greedy. they haven’t used excessive force and they haven’t killed anyone. the game is not sean bell. me having a different opinion and a better grasp on reading comprehension (and the english language in general) than you does not make me a cop’s kid.

        p.s. umadbro?

    12. I like how yall fags know how much money Chuck has in the bank, where can i find the supposed amount? caus obviously yall know how much he has in the vault

      1. Games overall worth was an estimated 4 million in the 2009 Forbes list and we all know he has been taking L’s since then. Do your research dickrider.

      2. The question is does game still have that 4 million? His album bricked bad last year.. and he’s not really that relevant anymore. The ironic thing is he’s sued for dissing G-Unit. Isn’t karma a bitch? Well I do hope he has that money. Game beefed with a lot of dudes I hope Dre could give him a loan lol Game lost.

      3. yea true but cmon with nearly 11 mill records sold he has to have that money, if not- its his fault… if you look up on the internet his net worth is 25 mill, if he just has the half of it its enough + the 3-4 mill he did this year (worldtour nd shit)

    13. Next weeks headlines: “Game files for bankruptcy and his estate to be foreclosed” Black Wall Street?! The irony.

    14. FUCK thats bullshit, I watched the DVD and it wasnt even that bad. Game hope u win this case because the fuckers r wrong

    15. Congrats to the cops, a cool Mil, I would take dat, hope chuck can handle it. He probably didn’t make that much off the DVD.

    16. Damn Game!!!!! HA HA “Hate it or love it” you have to Pay!!!!!! HA HA HA

      Damn 5mil for lyin on the police.Innocent people get shot and killed by officiers more and more frequent and no one is getting paid like that… Its bullshit but what can you do….

      1. thats why i didnt even respond to it,lmao, how the fuck u tryin to convince someone that a rapper who sold over 10.5 million albums worth is only 4million?

        dumb fucks on this site

        anyway, MONEYGANG bitches!!! 5 mill aint shitttttttttttt Black Wall Street nigga, Live for everything, Die for nothing

    17. “Hate it or love, you gotta pay those cops” “Go ‘head and envy me, next it’s the NYPD and I ain’t goin’ nowhere so you can get to know me”

    18. look at u dumb ass internet bloggers thinkin that shit is funny. fuuuuck the police!!!!!!! how the fuck police want 5 million??? for what???????? u arrrested the nigga already. jus trynna come up offa black man cause u know he got it. fuckin pigs.

    19. LOL these nazi cops gotta be kiddin me, they spray him all over the face and then this ? Only in USA ! Fuck CIA, fuck the police, fuck illuminati !

    20. This is insane. Nothing about that dollar amount makes any sense. I didn’t see the worlds “former” or “unemployed” anywhere in there with regards to the officers.

    21. It’s their choice to risk their lives, and in most cases, they’re sitting in a squad car in the back of a parking lot doing jack shit.

    22. Game bankrupts the production company that made the DVD, and the cops get a nickel on the dollar if they’re lucky.

      Case closed. Long live capitalism

    23. These rapper always fronting like they got cash like that, so shouldnt be a problem for Game to come out his pocket with the 5 million, he got much more than that.
