And that’s basically it!
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.
Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
Ooooooooooooo
Afroman for US President. He's just as qualified as the current one
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.
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.
Even more qualified.
That's not a high bar to clear TBH
I was gonna clear the bar, but it was too high.
Being a decent human being makes You more qualified
I thought that was grounds for disqualification?
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.
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.
Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job.
He’s going to need a lot more felonies.
Ridiculous that they're the ones suing him.
Well he did counter sue but the judge (corrupt) tossed his counter.
I was wondering why he didn't counter...
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.
Big oof this is why ppl don't trust the experts
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 want to see the cross examination
When I have time I want to find the whole thing, but to be honest I don't know if they even bothered to cross. I mean why would you?
Humming this tune right now:
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.
He made dis tracks for them all. Randy's is relatively tame
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.
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.
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.
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].”
those songs were hilarious, that lick'em low lisa is like 15 mins and they had to listen to it in court lmao 💀
That raid was crazy stupid. Like, even for US police standards. Also, kidnapping haha
If you haven't yet, you need to listen to "Why You Disconnecting My Video Camera." Banger.
best song of his out of all of the ones he released about this and it's not even close
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…
Everyone knows this is Under the Boardwalk right?
Or am I that old?
No, it's LEMON POUND CAKE BY AFROMAN GRANDPA! Let's get you off to bed
If this man isn't the next President of the United States, I'm leaving.
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.
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.
I was not going to steal that poundcake,
but I was high.
And then I really scarfed down that poundcake,
because I was high
And now I'm stuck in court and I know why... yeah why...
This whole case is going to make a great documentary one day. I just hope Netflix doesn’t make it (for obvious reasons)
Your honor, the jury is clearly packed with girls from Kentucky.
I sense a new song coming
Good news!
