This Afroman trial is giving me life.

Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.

He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.

@mekkaokereke Just wow. Those people terrorized children, pointed guns at them, and are now crying because their kids had to deal with the fact that their parents are corrupt cops who point guns at kids? Unbelievable.

After that, HE was supposed to feel bad that the cops were upset.

"After that, HE was supposed to feel bad that the cops were upset."

That's how supremacy generally works 🫠

@RnDanger I was thinking about Lemon Pound Cake. If he were an introspective type, he might ponder how he refers to Black people and how that might affect THEM. As for the woman crying, well, it's an opportunity for her to consider how she performs her job and the respect she shows to the people she encounters in that capacity. With regards to her kid(s), she and the kid should go into therapy to discuss how they should handle things, not letting the kid stew in her mess. @mekkaokereke

@RnDanger Basically, the cops are dealing with embarrassment. The man and his family are dealing with actual trauma. @mekkaokereke

@RnDanger The video I posted elsewhere in this thread is very good at showing what the actual charges are and the guy goes through parts of the music video to highlight possible problem areas. He's both laughing and fascinated about how the 1A will balance with the cop's right to privacy. With regards to the actual security footage, he's clear on the cops having no expectation of privacy while doing their jobs. @mekkaokereke

@CStamp @RnDanger @mekkaokereke

How can there be ANY expectation of privacy when you are RANSACKING A HOUSE THAT ISN'T YOURS??

Boggles my mind. The NERVE.

@violetmadder Yeah, though the suit is about more than that. The video I posted in another post of this thread walks through the suit. @RnDanger @mekkaokereke
