Ice T also spoke out against authorities.
"Homie just won 3 Grammys," he wrote. "LAPD are Cold Blooded... They could have at least waited till he got outside or at his hotel. Word is it's a misdemeanor.. This is that EXTRA BS.. smh."
Xzibit chimed in as well. "It's absolutely necessary to find out who made that call and why they arrested or detained @KillerMike after his well deserved sweep of the rap categories at this years Grammys," he tweeted. "Congratulations are in order @KillerMike but we MUST find out who did this bullshit."
