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.

The guy in the bottom is the rapper Afroman. He's most known for the song "Because I got high".

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.

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

They raided his house because they thought for some reason he had a bunch of kidnapping victims there

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.
