Paul Chambers🚧Mar 6

Afroman heads to court this month after deputies sued him for turning their unfounded raid on his home into viral music videos that exposed their faces and actions when he used his security camera footage of the raid.

The trial begins March 16 in Adams County, #Ohio, where the legal battle between the rapper and law enforcement has become a test case for free speech rights in the digital age.

Afroman’s argument is straightforward: he documented what happened to him and turned his story into art. #Law #FreeSpeech #Music

@paul I'm with Afroman on this. It's free speech. We'll see how corrupt the courts are by how it's handled.

@Jason844 In the third post in the thread, I posted the title song to the album called 'Lemon Pound Cake's that made the sheriff sad.

FWIW, the sheriff lost his election and did get replaced. He had been sheriff for a long time. Afroman brought to light how corrupt his dept was. The new one isn't too much better but is better than the old sheriff.

The question I have is why wouldn't LEOs run cop shops like a syndicate? The judiciary is has been under sustained pressure by assholes like Leonard Leo since the early 90s. Add to that the old networks of racial discrimination which have always been part of policing in America. Police officers unions and lobbyist machine keep a roof over this racket. It's entrenched at every level.
