When life gives you lemons, have a lemon party.
Sometimes life gives you lemons, sometimes a woman of negotiable affection steals them when you’re not looking.
out of the loop? thanks

Police raided his house for no reason, found nothing, then he used footage of the raid recorded by his security cameras in several music videos.

So naturally they sued him for defamation, and recently lost their case.

Well, they found some vape pens and some grass. They also found $5k in a sport coat. With local news present and multiple clerks counting it, they could not account for the total amount.
I think we all know where that money went.

I’m actually surprised he had so much cash.

I’ve known a few very wealthy people even 1 millionaire (it was the most stereotypical millionaire ever he was 100% sleeping with his secretary) and they never have cash on them. Their average weekly expenses are so high that they would never want to have to carry that much money around with them.

So it’s sort of old that he had 5k just sitting in one of his pockets.

I probably should have added further context. I did watch the entire thing on YT this week after all. He’d recently done a show with Snoop and others at Red Rock. He was paid it cash and that was the jacket he put it in.
Officer Poundcake was looped in on that delicious smell from Mama’s baking

Well, IMO, there’s no shame in loosing your guard for a second or two when you perceive a delicious smell.

That’s actually the only part of the entire thing the cop shouldn’t be ashamed of.

The big thing that they aren’t telling you is that the patriot in the bottom of the meme is Afroman.

The guy in the bottom is the rapper Afroman. He’s most known for the song ā€œBecause I got highā€.

He lives in Ohio. Police raided his house looking for pot (probably because they they took his song seriously, which they shouldn’t have). He made a series of music videos using security footage complaining that they fucked up his house and broke shit for no reason at all, and the local police were so outraged and hurt by the public anger towards them that they sued Afroman for defamation for over a million dollars. The picture is from his court case, where a jury told them that was fucking bonkers, and agreed completely with his defense that he didn’t hurt their reputation by lying: they hurt their reputation by doing terrible shit on camera to an artist who told people what they did.

I get it but it’s sad that this is what the internet knows her for. She’s a great singer, albeit nuts.
I’m guessing that’s Barbara Streisand? No clue what she did, but I’ve heard she’s a shitty person who tried to hide something so the internet blew it up?
It was her house. A photographer posted aerial photos of her house with her name and the town attached and she tried to get it taken down because she considered it a violation of her privacy.

In 2003, the American singer and actress Barbra Streisand sued the photographer, Kenneth Adelman, and Pictopia.com for US$50 million for violation of privacy.[4][5][6] The lawsuit sought to remove Image 3850, labeled as ā€œStreisand Estate, Malibuā€, an aerial photograph in which Streisand’s mansion was visible, from the publicly available California Coastal Records Project of 12,000 California coastline photographs. As the project’s goal was to document coastal erosion to influence government policymakers, privacy concerns of homeowners were deemed to be of minor or no importance.[7][8][9][10][11]

Here’s the picture. I don’t know why you’re making up bullshit.

Right to privacy - Wikipedia

Is that not her house?

And a hundred others. In public view. Not showing anything private. That was in a public database. That she sued someone for $50M because she didn’t like the criticism that she was callous to the environment.

Obvious nuisance SLAPP lawsuit.

Hope those billionaire boots taste good, at least.

I can see both sides. I wouldn’t want my name publicly attached to a photo of my house either. Though I guess everything’s out there if you go hunting.
One of the things they were suing Afroman for was literally invasion of privacy after they broke into his house and went through all of his stuff. They had the nerve to sue him for invasion of privacy. wtf

I suppose their arguement is that they are the official government sanctioned privacy invaders and so what they do is ok.

If they hadn’t broken so much stuff and unnecessarily trashed the place they would probably have some sort of point.

They raided his house because they thought for some reason he had a bunch of kidnapping victims there
they raided his house cause he was fucking the sheriff’s’ wife

Other replies neglected to mention that after Afroman released three or so videos about the raid itself and was initially sued, he started also making tracks about each of the officers involved in the suit.

That’s why I fucked his wife and got filthy rich. 

(Still glad he won his case, tho).

Wait… Is he a white black guy?

You must be thinking of Tobias Funke

Afroman Meets Donald Trump at the National Libertarian Convention

Baste Records, which has been a strong supporter of Afroman, was well-represented at the event....

theamericanbeat.com
Man, libertarians are a disappointment in the most soul-crushing of ways…
I was gonna be on the right side of history but then I got high.

Speaking to AllHipHop, Afroman clarified, ā€˜I’m not supporting him. I just met him. And yes, my campaign is full effect.’ He continued, ā€˜We were both at the Libertarian National Conference trying to get nominated and get their votes and we saw each other.'ā€

Context is important. This is from when Afroman ran for president.

Afroman Addresses "Patriotic" Photo Opp With Donald Trump

The "Because I Got High" rapper talked to AllHipHop about his recent run-in with the controversial business mogul-turned-politician.

AllHipHop
nah my dudes when i was more of an asshole (I’m not saying i’m not an asshole now, just that i used to be an economist and i wasn’t even trying back then) i used to crash libertarian conventions to laugh at some of the crazies and Afroman being one of the crazies absolutely tracks. although i would have sworn he’d be more of the laugh at the crazy crowd than the crazy crowd. still, i guess you can only be in the choir so long before you start preaching.
I myself have been known to pound cake
He ran for president in 2024. The world would have been better off had he won.
Low bar. World would have been better off if a 3 legged cat with rabies had won.

ā€œI was gonna eat your pussy, too. But then I got high.ā€

True patriot. American hero. Stoner. He’s got my vote.

Does this mean we can mail pound cakes to these particular cops?

Like…all of us, repeatedly, forever?

That’s been a thing now for years. Hearing the testimony about it is hilarious.

This is what a patriot looks like.

But I’m happy he won.

To me the word ā€œpatriotā€ used to mean someone who loves their country and fellow citizens. Would perhaps even die for them. Now when I hear that word I think of white supremacists’ hiding behind masks, just like the old (but still here) KKK.
Every nationalist calls their idiocy patriotism
