If the Afroman trial is proving anything, it's that cops can lie about you on their police reports and get qualified immunity, but if you write a sarcastic song about cops, they'll sue you for it because they are weak spined cowards.
The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.
Remember when Netanyahu told Bill Clinton he'd better release Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, because they had telephone recordings of Clinton and Monica Lewinsky?
I bring this up for no particular reason and entirely at random
“It’s not a war, it’s a strike.”
It was 900 U.S. strikes resulting in what radical Islam sees as a martyrdom of their Supreme Leader, which lead to a retaliation on 5 countries, attempts on our troops, with much more to come.
The more you gaslight us, the more you lose us.
All foreign aid should be ended, not simply rerouted to cut out corrupt NGO middlemen. That said, cutting out corrupt NGO middlemen is unlikely to be a bad thing.
