Criminal Lawyer Reacts to Genius Afroman Video & Breaks Down B.S Lawsuit By Police

[@gkitty3371]

I was in 4th grade, police did a no knock search. First thing I remember a couple loud pounds on the door (no police announcement) then a bang from them kicking it open. With guns up they immediately cuffed my dad who tried explaining there are kids in the home. They proceeded to toss and tear up everything with no regard, took any cash they found and all the while refusing to properly show to my grandmother (the homeowner) the warrant (which it was a b.s. claim) till after the search. So yeah my first interaction with the police and seeing real guns was that. That was over 14 years ago. Many in my family are law abiding and we stay out of trouble. That was the only major interaction my family had with police and to this day even for something small im very cautious of them. It's one of the reasons I watch channels like this, so i can learn what to do and if my rights were violated.

[@AVI-lh6rm]

This is what happens when people sincerely believe in "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." Cops will instill fear into anyone regardless. My family had some terrible run-ins with cops too. Never talk to the police, hopefully the more stubborn folks will eventually see that police aren't here to protect us and aren't even obligated to like in Uvalde.

Same reason lots of cops "can't recall" key details of incidents that people call them out on in hopes of accountability. I hope Afroman is able to explore all available legal avenues on this BS. Imagine what they do to "regular" people if this is what we see them doing to a well known musician with a house full of cameras. Check this out... "An armed shoplifting suspect in Colorado barricaded himself in a stranger's suburban Denver home in June 2015. In an attempt to force the suspect out, law enforcement blew up walls with explosives, fired tear gas and drove a military-style armored vehicle through the property's doors. [...] A federal appeals court in Denver ruled this week that the homeowner, who had no connection to the suspect, isn't entitled to be compensated, because the police were acting to preserve the safety of the public." Go look for photos if you haven't seen them already. They literally destroyed this innocent man's whole home and down't owe him a dime for it. There was no salvaging his home.

Calling this thing a "bar" isn't exactly right since it is pretty huge. Right after the blunt was finished the cops rolled up and talked shit to me directly for no reason. Well "no reason" since the blunt was gone by time they got there. After that was when he said the quote above. He legit speaks in this very poetic way. I'm tempted to call it a "rap like way of speaking" but even that isn't totally right. It is like a fusion of rap and straight up poetry. I've never met anyone who just randomly has conversations in that way. It is impressive imho.

The case ended up in front of an arbitrator and the city just came out and said there was no money for the pay increase and there would have to be cuts to increase police pay. The arbitrator gave the cops 2.5%. The next day the city fired 20% of the police force, starting with the cops that were making the most money. They cited lack of money to pay for the pay increase. The police union sued claiming retaliation and the case was tossed before a trial. In the paper the police were saying that not a single officer should have lost their jobs and that the cuts should have come from every other department in the city. They then proceeded to slow enforcement for the next two years. If your call wasn't some kind of life-or-death emergency, they weren't going to get to you until next week if you were lucky.

Then imagine your family finds out later that they "went to the wrong house".. This has happened to people. It's actually ridiculous how militaristic we've allowed our "civil servants" to get. @CLR Bruce Rivers They use military firearms, military gear, military vehicles, military tactics and training.
