The best part of the whole "crooked cops lose their defamation suit against Afroman" thing is that they were essentially suing him for damage to their reputation in their *community*, & by doing so managed to alert a *very* large number of people, like, definitely over a million, to these clowns & their shit-ass behavior.
Afroman said it in the trial: They didn't have to raid his home, break his shit, & get caught on security camera. This is all their choices coming back on them.
It was on The Daily Show last night. These fucking small time criminal cops are getting ridiculed nationally now.
Why? Because they are creeps & criminals who thought that OF COURSE they could harass this Black man in their community with no consequences, & then they sued HIS ass.
The fact that I know the name of at least one Adams County sheriff's deputy is kind of ridiculous. They've got less than 30,000 people in the whole county.
And yet I know that Randy Walters is a son of a bitch.
I know some of y'all have been ridiculing cops your entire lives, & you should be proud.
But it's going to be a glorious day when we *all* start ridiculing cops again.

I debated whether to include that disclaimer.
In a way, yes, in that the reason for most people that they never respected cops is abuse they & those they know received (or witnessed), & please don't think I am stating that I envy that. That would be dismissive & just...shitty?
But every day I am more & more unhappy about the fact that blinding privilege had me clownishly deferring to these fools for so long. Gross.
Please let me know if you do feel I'm speaking dismissively.
