MC Hammer arrested, claims he was target of racial profiling

MC Hammer isn't thrilled with the cops of northern California. On Saturday, Hammer tweeted about his side of an encounter with a "chubby elvis looking dude" earlier this week. The officer arrested him for obstructing an officer; at the time, Hammer was being questioned for driving a car with expired registration. Hammer claims that the first words out of the officer's mouth were about whether Hammer was on parole or probation. The indignant Hammer apparently got argumentative, and that never ends well. The performer has enjoyed a slight revival of late, including an electrifying "Gangnam Style"/"Too Legit to Quit" mashup at the American Music Awards with Psy. [Source]
