Rapper MC Hammer Arrested

The too Legit to Quit Crooner who is now a preacher was arrested after a verbal altercation between him and a policeman at a local shopping centre and was subsequently charged with obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties in Dublin, California....the pic by the right is his mugshot.
The 50-year-old  rapper took to Twitter on Friday and then again on Saturday to explain his side of the incident, suggesting he was unfairly treated because he is African American....read his tweets:

Instead of being bitter, I'm taking the opportunity to make this a "teachable moment" and "eye opener" for my many friends & colleagues.

Sometimes in life you choose to "Fight" and other times the "Fight" chooses you. Dignity is not a crime.
