Define #crocodileTears

An aggressor's sadness, fake or cluelessly entitled, because their aggression backfired

Example:

#Afroman's "Lemon Pound Cake" mocked a #police raid on his home (resulting in no charges)

They sued

Because "waah, my feelings"

One of the officers "cried" on the stand

Afroman won

And congratulations Afroman for reigniting your career

"I got the right to kick a can in my backyard, use my #freedomOfSpeech, turn my bad times into a good time"

@benroyce yay Afroman 💚 🤩 🙏 dara dat dat dat da
@benroyce
That's refreshingly uplifting 😀 

@TLB73

the political echelons of the #USA are dead and rotten

but the people can still get it right on smaller scale issues

now the question is if in the future the rot continues to extend further down, if MAGA grows

or if the people overturn the rot, if MAGA dies

#protest

#resist

#strike

and #vote!

you not voting is part of the rot, just as much as MAGA

all your reasons not to vote are fakery, some of it fed to you as a #troll #psyop on #socialMedia. don't buy the lying #cosplay shit

@benroyce
It's just as rotten here my friend.
But - dare I suggest I feel a twinge in my bones. A change has to happen. There are more of us than them and we need to learn to stand together.

@TLB73

i agree there will be a rally countereffect

i hope it is strong enough to bust this spell of disinfo and psyop so many weak minds have fallen under

@benroyce Kyle Rittenhouse did better courtroom crying. If you're going to sway a jury, you have to really *sell* it. Really blubber. Let that snot stream down out of your nose. As Bill Murray taught it, you gotta think to yourself "My *dog* is *dead*!", because Afroman's videos are just *too funny*.

And now you're the deputy who cried because of a diss track. Oops. Sorry, Deputy Feefees.

@benroyce
Colt 45 and two Zig Zags, baby that's all we need.
We can go to the park after dark, smoke that tumbleweed.
And as the marijuana burns we can take our turns,
Singing them dirty rap songs
Stop and hit the bong like Cheech and Chong,
Sell tapes from here to Hong Kong.
So roll, roll, roll my joint.
Pick out the seeds and stems.
Feelin' high as hell flyin' through Palmdale, skatin' on Dayton rims.
I was going to watch some of the testimony, but then I got high :D

Just kidding, I saw some of where Afroman was being questioned and one of the policemen, and an ex of one of deputies.
@benroyce now do one with the officer crying on the stand 🤣

@benroyce

Afroman, the hero we didn't know we needed... 🍾

@benroyce today’s cops relearning the ancient wisdom of not fucking with those with the public’s ear
@benroyce Phillips broke down his door, broke his door, armed with AR15s looking for imaginary kidnap victims and drugs. Phillips deliberately disabled Afroman's house surveillance system as they rooted around his stuff and confiscated "evidence" without a crime, including $400 cash they denied they took. After he publicly accused them of stealing the $400, they said it was "miscounted" and returned it to him.
Phillips and the other cops should be publicly apologizing to Afroman, and personally paying for and installing a new door, and cleaning up the stuff they messed up. But they didn't. They just feel sorry for themselves that they were ridiculed for being arrogant, stupid, thieving bad cops. Next time, don't be shitty and stupid when you do wrong. Why aren't they publicly identifying and prosecuting whoever told them Aftoman was a kidnapper?
Phillips, a public servant with a gun, never shed a tear for Afroman who was falsely accused and slandered as a kidnapper and had armed cops (her) aim AR15s at him on a lie.

"oops I miscounted $400 as $0" said no sane person ever

@pattykimura @benroyce

@benroyce

I absolutely love this! First Amendment, Baby!

#FirstAmendment #SelfEmpowerment #Justice

@benroyce There’s a video of Afroman striking a woman on a stage standing next to him (for some unexplained reason) and it’s very unflattering. It suggests that he’s flawed like many of us. But his rights should be respected and protected.

@wendinoakland

oof

i didn't know

@benroyce This, from me, earlier:

So it seems he has a history of effed up behavior. He still has rights, including the right to live safely in his home. Lots of folks walking around with abhorrent records and nobody seems to think it’s a problem.

@wendinoakland

yeah

morality is never a straight good/ bad

like "i support the iran regime because i hate the usa" or "i support the usa regime because i hate iran" is stupid immoral bullshit

we condemn both regimes. that's the moral position

so we can cheer that the police lost here, and condemn afroman's misogyny, at the same time

@benroyce I’m a big fan of stasis, because there’s never any real purity. And we *had* stasis, mostly, with Iran… but Jared is Bibi’s buddy, and they wanted to fight, but it’s so much trickier than they thought. So, yeah.
@benroyce You know, all the cops had to do was say “oops we made a mistake, we’ll try to be better next time.” Instead, ALL those citizens’ funds were spent and wasted… for no reason. None. So I’m pressing play again. And again.
@benroyce Afroman brings me so much joy.
Also, I'm loving his relaxed pose while watching someone who participated in a raid on his home during which his wife and children were held at gunpoint, cry on the stand when made fun of.
The people who love to dish out nonsense and abuse are the ones who can never take it when it's directed at them.
Afroman's court case is now part of cherished lore birthed within the US. And I'm here for all of it.
HELL. YES.
