This Afroman trial is giving me life.

@mekkaokereke Just wow. Those people terrorized children, pointed guns at them, and are now crying because their kids had to deal with the fact that their parents are corrupt cops who point guns at kids? Unbelievable.

After that, HE was supposed to feel bad that the cops were upset.

@mekkaokereke

fascists fear ridicule above all else.

@mekkaokereke

Good for him. I know nothing of him beyond this but holding his own on deputies' kids being upset because their parents were caught on camera violating his rights is a pretty damn solid platform.

@mekkaokereke The hero we need in these fucked-off times.

@mekkaokereke
Justifiable rage.

He's absolutely right that the cops messed up, and now they're blaming the victim of their screw up for their humiliation. Trying to evoke empathy when the cops are the bad guys in all this.

I don't know a damned thing about this guy, but he's totally in the right. He should keep making fun of those cops as long as he wants. They fucking pointed a fucking gun at him and his family! Their humiliation is hardly even a tiny portion of what they deserve.

@mekkaokereke list of things nobody would have cared about on a national scale until they took it to court: this guy will forever be mocked.

If he wanted people to keep his name outta their mouths, maybe he shoulda stayed outta Afroman's home and kept another man's property outta his pockets.

He's rightfully gettin legally dog walked on public record for embarrassing himself and dishonoring his badge. Lol

Defamation: Act of injuring another's reputation by any slanderous communication, written or oral; the wrong of maliciously injuring the good name of another; slander; detraction; calumny; aspersion.
Slander: A false and malicious statement or report about someone.
Malicious: Indulging or exercising malice; harboring ill will or enmity.

Well, the ill will seems justified. If all cops believed they might get caught out for THEIR malicious behaviour, maybe things would improve.

@mekkaokereke lol wut? Why isn't he suing the other cops making fun of him then?

On a side note: acab apparently also true for colleagues... harming poor lemon pound cake like that with cop-on-cop violence smh 😔

@mekkaokereke That's insane.

@mekkaokereke I think my favorite video so far in the series is def the Randy Walters one, just sooooo good https://youtu.be/u4AiuqQpB1U?si=-Umd68zdMAns3Anv

@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io they also fear getting their debt of violence and hate paid back, and for good reasons.

[ogjester@stranger.social]

@mekkaokereke This is the stuff of legends.

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@lan @mekkaokereke

which is part of why they fear ridicule.

without the fear they are supposed to inspire, they risk retaliation.

they understand that folks don't fear what they find ridiculous.

[petterroea@infosec.exchange]

@mekkaokereke Lmao the person asking questions is asking questions as if it's illegal to make someone upset. This is exactly how bullies' parents would defend them in kindergarden 😂😂😂

[schrotthaufen@mastodon.social]

@katrinakatrinka @mekkaokereke The whole way he handles the injustice he had to live through is a level of petty and at the same time being a rather good sport one can only admire.

[astrohyde@mastodon.social]

@katrinakatrinka @mekkaokereke exactly this! 10/10 suit choice! I think my mom made me a pair of overalls like that back in the day.... Totally awesome!

[http_error_418@hachyderm.io]

@mekkaokereke it's absolutely clear that this behaviour is habitual for them. Routine. They assume that they can steal stuff here because they've done it time and time again, but this time they fucked up and got caught on camera. The question isn't, where else have they done this, it's where *haven't* they.
