Afroman Wins Verdict Rejecting Lawsuit Filed by Ohio Cops Over Mocking Music Videos

Afroman won a jury verdict rejecting a lawsuit from police officers who claim the rapper defamed them by mocking them in social media music videos.

@ai6yr Colt 45 and two zigzags, baby that's all we need

to go to the park, after dark, make them cops seethe

@ai6yr After "Fuck tha Police," "Smoked Pork," and "Cop Killer," three rap songs that openly called for firing on police in the 1980's, cops were stupid to think they could do anything about music that only mocks their sorry asses.
@LukefromDC @ai6yr Here in Poland we also have classic anti-cop song, check out Peja – 997

@ai6yr

Officer Poundcake. A bit crude but hey, ypu get the treatment you ask for.

@ai6yr best news in ages

@ai6yr Well, now I really want to watch his videos!
@archivescribe LOL the Streisand Effect again
@ai6yr the jury waited until they got the free courthouse sandwich then said fuck the police.

@ai6yr
Yay!! Go Afroman! A person who can wield a pen (lyrics), music & video (including video pastiche) as a weapon. 🤺

I hope he now gives lessons in how to use that first amendment right creatively to fight back against brutality, stupidity & cupidity/greed (lemon pound cake cop) or just theft/corruption (cop stealing Afroman’s money ON CAMERA, no less).

Oh, and I also hope that the cops’ kids get counselling or other appropriate help, as someone else 1st suggested in an elsewhere comment on this sorry affair (will see if I can source that thread - it’s worth reading & has a couple of good video clips & a summary of the whole affair).

“Basically, the cops are dealing with embarrassment. The man and his family are dealing with actual trauma.” And “I hope he wins and I hope the cops’ kids get therapy.”

@Su_G @ai6yr Yeah, it’s not fair for any of the kids. Afroman said his 10 & 12-yr-olds were traumatized, but at least those kids now get bragging rights that their dad fought the law and won. The cops’ kids, I imagine this verdict and the court coverage will have made it worse. Their parents don’t seem fit to guide them through this.

@CStamp
So true & resonates (the cruelty of their adults): “The cops’ kids, I imagine this verdict and the court coverage will have made it worse. Their parents don’t seem fit to guide them through this.” I wonder if any are in LemonPoundCake cop’s ex-wife’s class: she seems to have her head screwed on right. A sorry affair all round except for the lesson Afroman’s trying to share.
