The best part about this is that his songs pissed off the cops so much that they couldn't just be satisfied with stealing his shit; they had to take him to court about how much he hurt their feelings!
They look ten times more ridiculous than if they had just let it go.

They likely sued because he has them on video directly stealing cash out of one of his jackets. Thry were hoping he'd shut up.

Afroman for US President. He's just as qualified as the current one
hOrni@lemmy.world · 132 pts · 157d
Even more qualified. Being a decent human being makes You more qualified. Being able to put together a coherent sentence makes You more qualified. It is, in fact, difficult to imagine someone less qualified to be president, than Trump.
Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 157d
Hey, don't slander Trump like that! I'm sure there are plenty of newborn babies out there whose mothers smoked crack while pregnant. At least one of them must be less qualified than him, statistically.
athatet@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 157d
Incorrect. Trump is the most unqualified.
BillyClark@piefed.social · 2 pts · 157d
Surely he can't be less qualified than Don Jr and Eric, though?

Explaining the joke always makes it funnier.

That was sarcasm. It was used to express that jokes become less humorous when someone tries to explain them.

I thought that was grounds for disqualification?
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 65 pts · 157d
Worth pointing out that Afroman is a dedicated Trumper and likened the raid on his home to the FBI raid on Maralago during the documents case.

Oof. This really shifts my perception of him.
wesdym@mastodon.social · 5 pts · 157d
@UnspecificGravity Honestly, he strikes me as just kind of dumb and immature. "Hunter Got High". Oh, that's very clever, Joe. I bet the other kids at the food court after school found it hilarious. He's like a stoner version of John Valby.
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 14 pts · 157d
That is basically every Trumper I know in real life. Just really stupid and childish people who respond to memes as if they are actual information upon which to make a decision.
Mostly they are also too stupid and lazy to actually vote, so they are relatively harmless.

If we accept Afroman now he may just be ready in time for 2028. If we don't it's going to be another 2016.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 157d
I wouldn't be opposed to him running as a Republican...

But he sure as shit shouldn't be allowed to take a spot in any election from an actual Dem.

Watched his testimony. Aftoman is intelligent, thoughtful, and well-spoken - way more qualified than the Rapist-in-Chief.

Ridiculous that they're the ones suing him.
M0oP0o@mander.xyz · 69 pts · 157d
Well he did counter sue but the judge (corrupt) tossed his counter.
beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 157d
I was wondering why he didn't counter...
M0oP0o@mander.xyz · 59 pts · 157d
I did not follow this that closely but the small part I did see had the judge do things like try to tell the jury that the ex wife of the deputy was not an expert witness in her own marriage and that the jury needed to treat her testimony as from a layperson unlike an expert witness like a deputy. Not really a surprise that the judge who let this play out and covered for the police continuously also tossed out the counter claim for property damage and theft.
beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 157d
Big oof this is why ppl don't trust the experts
M0oP0o@mander.xyz · 31 pts · 157d
Yeah, and I think the judge actually did more harm to the cops in this case. Most people on that jury would likely be rolling their eyes at that point. Also the cops calling afroman to the stand blew up in their faces hard, just take a watch if your so inclined:

Like the guy or not that was a great shut down of the entire premise of the suit against him.

I really hope to have the outlook afroman currently has about this type of situation. Where a massive miscarriage of justice was perpetrated and he makes fun songs about it. I mean the gucking lemon pound cake was just the god damned cherry on top of the acab massive library of shittiness.

ayyy@sh.itjust.works · 58 pts · 157d
I just don’t understand how anybody could see what happened to this man and not understand just how deeply corrupt the police and judges in this case are. Every single one of them belongs in prison, or more accurately underground.
echodot@feddit.uk · 11 pts · 157d
I know the case wasn't actually about this but I can't understand why when executing a search warrant looking for kidnap victims you would proceed to ransacked the kitchen. Stick your head in there, is there anyone tied up in there, nope. So then you leave, I doubt someone's been held captive in the cutlery drawer.
sthetic@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 156d
I only watched one of his videos, but there was a whole verse about that.
"Any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?" he sings, over footage of cops rummaging through the jackets hanging in his closet.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 156d
Well as a matter of course cops look for drugs. Even when the resident called them for completely unrelated reasons

I have been trying to figure out where to post the local news clip of him winning.
It really was sweet to see how the community actually really came out in support of him and they were handing out lemon pound cake at the courthouse.
spaghettiwestern@sh.itjust.works · 52 pts · 157d
Watched Aftoman's testimony. It's beggars belief that the police's attorney repeatedly demands sympathy from both Afroman and the jury for the poor, victimized police officer's hurt feelings and embarrassment after her actions were made public.
Afroman puts it well when the attorney is trying to get that sympathy, “But I'm not a person. She is. I'm sorry for being a victim. Let's talk about the predators [instead].”

Afro man def put up a badass response to that questioning…
But it’s with also mentioning the prosecutor is fucking terrible at his job.
Afroman did a great job in the stand, but the prosecutor was straight up LAME in their questioning.
The lawyer rolled over at the end of questioning, that’s rare…

JackbyDev@programming.dev · 12 pts · 156d
This whole kerfuffle really irks me. The police did something wrong. They got called out on it. Then they sued. It's vindictive and horrible. And you fucking KNOW that if he sued them instead of making the song it very likely wouldn't have gone anywhere and they'd get to wave their qualified immunity all over. But that wasn't enough for them. They just couldn't stand someone besmirching their perfect name.
The sheer irony of this whole thing is that I had forgotten. I imagine many of you did too if you even saw those videos he made after it happened a few months back. They totally Streisand effected (Streisand affected? lol) themselves. Absolutely disgusting to see them sue him over this. Very glad he won.
Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 156d
Somone pleas correct me if im wrong, but he had a counter suit and everything got thrown out almost immediately because the judge was essentially gobbing the cops knobs.

Gobbing the cops knobs, cops have qualified immunity, what's the difference.

This whole case is going to make a great documentary one day. I just hope Netflix doesn’t make it (for obvious reasons)
JackbyDev@programming.dev · 2 pts · 156d
What reasons?
Glytch@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 156d
Netflix doesn't make content that's meant to be watched anymore. It's meant to be played in the background while you doomscroll. I'd rather watch something that wants to be watched.
ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 156d
Everything Netflix makes feels like slop now. Once upon a time NF was a marker of quality, but now they make every documentary 3 or 4 parts for no reason—dragging out storylines until they are boring—and they all look the same visually. There isn’t anything that makes them unique. They feel paint by numbers.
This is extra disappointing with a filmmaker like Chris Smith who has made some all time classic films (American Movie, American Job), but his Netflix stuff now looks like anyone in the Netflix stable could have directed them.
hitmyspot@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 156d
Lol, Netflix had a few quality shows but they have had more slop than quality at all times they have done productions. They had to retire the Netflix original title as it became synonymous with slop.
