The Game has taken the lead in seeking reconciliation between the Black community and police. Last week, he and Snoop Dogg brought a group of men to meet with the LAPD to have an open discussion about the state of the country.
Like father like son, The Game’s 13-year-old son, Harlem Taylor, started a GoFundMe to support Officer Tommy Norland. The Compton, California rapper took to Instagram to explain that they found out about the cop’s work through the social media site.
Officer Norland is active in the Black community in Little Rock, Arkansas. His Instagram shows photos of him playing with the children and laughing with the elderly.
In his post, The Game uses Officer Norland to disprove stereotypes of cops and says there is a difference between bad cops and good cops.
Racial tension in America is high after two Black men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, were shot and killed by police officers last week. Five police officers were then killed in Dallas at a Black Lives Rally.
The Documentary rapper addresses any potential criticism from those saying he should donate the money himself. He says he donated the first $1,000 and wanted to empower his son by allowing him to set up the GoFundMe and invite the public to join him.
The Game does his own charity work through The Robin Hood project. Leading up to the release of The Documentary 2, he gave away $1,000 a day to fans. He also donated $1 million to the city of Flint, Michigan in the midst of its water crisis.
At the time of publication, one day after the campaign’s initiation, more than $53,000 has been raised to support Officer Norland.

Smfh in disgust….and how much is, you know what neverfckingmind
If more police were obligated to connect with members of the black community in ways like this. Racism and stereotypes/profiling might decrease.
What a disgrace
Well, the first step is you admitting what you are. Kudos for that. The next step would be congratulating people for trying to do something positive and help.

WTF?? Lol. Texting while driving a taxi or something? English PLEASE.
Lmaaaooooo dam that was funny as hell i spit my coffee on the screen
Glad you enjoyed that. Thanks. I found it pretty funny as well.
Shut your bombmaking ass up. Remember when they told you you’ll be in Paradise with 12 virgins? I hope its a lie and Satan is waiting for you with a rock hard dick
This is progress, this is definitely a great move very proud of Harlem & Officer Norman’s initiative. Why not support productivity? Then again some people rather remain stagnant.
I am glad someone is doing something POSITIVE and not making this a strictly race issue. This cop seems cool AF.
Anyone who thinks this is NOT a race issue is the problem…
this is great! i dont see why this cant happen more often. you get paid and its your job to interact with the community. why not take steps to not be HATED everytime you put on the uniform and just do your job ONLY when its needed and nothing more. things would be nice.
Looks like game’s son is a n466er too.
So is the guy banging your mom, and the guy who will be banging your daughter, if you find a woman stupid enough to have sex with you. I bet you dream about some big black… What happened to the flag to report A holes like this?
This is exactly why extending your hand to the oppressor is pointless…
Having social awareness and a social conscious at age 13 is awesome, and little man deserves all the credit in the world. Kudos young man.
Raising a C00n…
His name is Officer Norman, not Norland.
It’s Officer NORMAN…… Way to go though!!!! He’s a GREAT GUY!!!!!!
F him
Officer NORMAN is a God sent to that community and I think other Officers should take note and maybe learn a few things from this man! I hope to get to do a ride along with him, if his department allows it!!!! ? That community… children AND adults, LOVE OFFICER NORMAN!!!! I wish there were more Officers like him!!!!
#WeSupportOurOfficers
How can they raise $$ for the officer what about the black families who suffer from the losses. How about reinvesting back into the black community like all the other races do.
Isn’t he getting paid at work? Y we need to raise funds for him? Jus asking
You negros are crazy
Officer Norman is a racist piece of shit
Someone gofund my broke ass too SMH
