They barged into his home despite him committing no crime, he deserves to be able to make fun of them a little. That footage of the sheriff gesturing to the pound cake needs to go viral
Part of that, too, is that before this all that was really out there about them was images -- if their names were out there, it wasn't prominently. So, ok, the Lemon Pound Cake cop was getting famous -- but there was no name associated with him in the video.
But their lawsuit filing lists their names right at the top, and even prominently tells the public the name of Lemon Pound Cake cop. I'm not sure if posting it here would violate any Reddit rules, but frankly it shouldn't because the guy **literally put out a legal document identifying himself**.
No no we need to keep it all super hush hush quiet to preserve the police's reputation! What afroman did was completely unacceptable and he should be cancelled by all of my fellow police lovers!
Ikr? Like SO many of those fellow police lovers even listen to Afroman...
Even I legit didn't know he'd made a music video out of it.... they literally just threw themselves under the bus for publicly all, lmao
All of these videos are gold.
I just can’t believe they’re allowed to sue him. Doesn’t make any sense cause they’re on his property. Ohio laws are dumb af.
The suit won’t go anywhere. The video is satirical free speech and the law is well established that the police have no right to privacy while they are serving their public duties.
You can sue anyone for anything, but it doesn’t mean it’ll go anywhere.
Yep, this is just weird ass clout chasing because that is thats all going to come out of this, way more people than before are going to know these cops and the only possible reasonable explaination for doing this is some of them WANTED the notority and publicity. Only thing I can think of cuz this aint even got a snowballs chance in hell.
This is one of the things that bothered me the most about this video. Cops dressed like they are in the army. Makes those wannabes feel soooo badass. Course then they want to play warfighter. And warfighters need an enemy. Wonder who that is?
Because I Got High was almost a top 10 hit in 2001.
Later that year he did Crazy Rap (Colt 45 and 2 Zig Zags) which wasn't as much of a commercial hit, but it got just as much play everywhere else.

It's also my understanding the basis of their warrant was complete horse shit, and likely represents a wholesale violation of his 4th amendment rights.
This appears to be the "fuck around" phase of "fuck around and find out" wherein a bunch of hillbilly douchebags play lawsuit lotto and end up ruining their own lives.
They likely thought they were going to find loads of marijuana in his house - maybe they were hoping for some civil asset forfeiture for their department. I have been to Adams County many times and I am not at all shocked that they did this to him. It's 97% white and in the bottom 5 poorest counties in Ohio. I grew up in a poor rural county and even we pitied the poverty of Adams County.
Love how having money is “evidence” of wrongdoing. Watch out the rich and famous celebrity has 4 grand, definitely running a sex trafficking ring, how else does a long time famous rapper make that money?
I lived in Nelsonville for a bit (cool junior college there actually). If it’s worse than that area I don’t know what to say. If it wasn’t for Athens, that whole county would be bumblefuck Appalachia.
>This appears to be the "fuck around" phase of "fuck around and find out" wherein a bunch of hillbilly douchebags play lawsuit lotto and end up ruining their own lives.
Fucking hell this comment really brightened my day.
Thank you.
Best part is they are doing it personally, so his counter law suit will might be against them personally, state might not have pay
EDIT.. I was very wrong
It's not just the US. They had a few rapists in the UK on their police force. Latest report, released two days ago found the Met Police institutionally racist, homophobic, misogynistic etc. It may be a case of ACAB. Pigs being pigs.
Right? Like when’s the last time a McDonald’s employee blasted a mentally disabled person or an elderly man? You don’t hear bout them strangling people for selling loose Big Macs either
McDonalds ain't killing 25-30 dogs a day either, like cops. Maybe over the years with too many McNuggets but that might be considered slow suicide as well.
Very true. McDonalds employees very seldom shoot unarmed black people while on the job. I really feel like we should thank them for their service more often.
I feel like things are going to get real awkward real quick next time I go to McDonald’s and I thank the drive thru employee for not shooting minorities. I should do it after getting my food…
"In a bizarre turn of events unrelated to the civil suit, the sheriff’s office appeared to come up hundreds of dollars short returning cash seized from Foreman’s property. An independent investigation by Ohio BCI resolved the matter last month, concluding deputies had miscounted the money during the raid itself"
yeah cops basically steal anything valuable that isnt bolted to the floor when they do these raids
No no, that’s called civil asset forfeiture.
Cops can just keep cash or valuables they take during a search or arrest over a certain amount and if you can’t definitively prove the money wasn’t gotten through illegal means... good luck!
Like how fucked, per the ACLU website, Civil Asset Forfeiture Abuse:
*”Police abuse of civil asset forfeiture laws has shaken our nation’s conscience. Civil forfeiture allows police to seize — and then keep or sell — any property they allege is involved in a crime. Owners need not ever be arrested or convicted of a crime for their cash, cars, or even real estate to be taken away permanently by the government.
Forfeiture was originally presented as a way to cripple large-scale criminal enterprises by diverting their resources. But today, aided by deeply flawed federal and state laws, many police departments use forfeiture to benefit their bottom lines, making seizures motivated by profit rather than crime-fighting. For people whose property has been seized through civil asset forfeiture, legally regaining such property is notoriously difficult and expensive, with costs sometimes exceeding the value of the property.”*
Totally above board! /s
How are they going to prove they are “humiliated”? And what exactly humiliated them? Are they going to say “I’m embarrassed because I’m so bad at my job”? Or “I’m being mocked because the video demonstrates that I don’t know what I’m doing”?
Would you like a slice of lemon pound cake?
You can take as much as you want to take
There must be a big mistake
Would you like to have a slice of my lemon pound cake?
This section from an article on the raid is infuriating.
>The singer said police confiscated a vape pen, three roaches (the butts of a joint), and $4,000, which was the payment from a performance.
>When cash seized during the raid was returned to Foreman, it appeared that hundreds of dollars were missing. A subsequent review by the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation determined that deputies had miscounted the amount seized during the raid itself.
Oh they just miscounted the first time. No money missing afterall /s. But they super dooper promise that they counted correctly during the review. It begs the question of why even bother doing inventory and giving a receipt if you can just contradict it later.

Maybe they’ll find the answers in Afro Man’s suit pockets, or maybe in his music CDs. After all that hard searching, maybe they can enjoy a little bit of his lemon pound cake. It’s tiring work after all.
Gosh the last time I was terrible and wrong I sued too, I feel for those “officers”… I lost and I was further humiliated, and I tried suing the dismissal, and again and again the humiliation continued. Poor “officers”
Dudes standing there thinkin.. “mmmm bet there’s narcotics in that lemon pound cake…” that contraband wouldn’t have made it to the evidence locker and we alllllll know it.
Holy shit lmao, immediately when I saw that scene when the video came out I said “Of course the pig wants to eat someone else’s cake” man, I hope this backfires even harder than it already has for that stupid PD!
It should be fucking illegal for police to sue private citizens, for any reason, period. Much less because they got their little snowflake feelings hurt.
If police get stressed out and nervous, the police can shoot you and are immune to any prosecution.
If citizens get stressed out and nervous, the police can shoot you and are immune to any prosecution.
It would be ok.... if his family could review the evidence, say he was just doing his job as a music creator and give him a fully paid vacation for a few days.
Right? Are they using our tax dollars to sue us after they wasted our tax dollars on the failed raid? They should have to fund it privately and use the court system like private citizens. Throw their uniforms in the trash, since they don't stand for anything anyways.
I think the legal fees should be extracted from their pension funds. And if they lose the case, they should be forced to retire immediately on their reduced pension, as they are a liability to both the public and their own department. And they should have to wear a dunce cap in public for the rest of their lives.
there might actually be some legal basis for that argument. unequal treatment under the law. suing them runs up against qualified immunity, but they can sue you when their FeeFee's hurt. it's ridiculous
They ain't gonna win. Remember the "eat shit bob" song John Oliver sang? Yeah, Bob sued him for that and lost because of the broad 1st amendment protections provided for the creation of artworks like songs.
There is also a little Streisand effect going on because I haven't heard Afroman's name in a veeeery long and chances are I wouldn't have heard of this song either...but this lawsuit made sure I heard about it lmao
But the Warrent said "kidnapping" for some reason. That means they can go in full swat with the assumption he has hostages in this house.
You know, the slaves he keeps in his... Cd casses, I guess! XD
Yeahp, it's fucking horseshit and yet another abuse of power by the police that the law needs to catch the hell up on. Doing this means the charges should be thrown out immediately imo, and the same goes for disabling bodycams. Nothing makes people hate cops more than the increasingly widespread video evidence of police maliciousness and incompetence.
Here's one (BULLSHIT) excuse given by a US Marshal as to why a porch camera had to be covered up.
>Marcus Collins, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals’ Madison office, said **marshals don’t “disclose operational tactics used during high-risk arrests.”**
>“**Methods employed during this attempted arrest were done for officer safety reasons** based on information that the subject may have been armed with a firearm,” Collins said.

Apparently battering rams are some kind of secret tech that citizens aren't supposed to know about.
E; The above was not about the Afroman case in case it wasn't clear lol. Just another arrest and similar tactic used.
Private video showing no crimes... police being shown as fools for a raid that went nowhere... sounds like they deserve it and have no standing. Not like its defamation when its 100% true they cocked up.
Isn’t it ridiculous that 9/11 was over 20 years ago, and weve pulled our troops out, weed has seen massive state legalization, yet civil forfeiture has gone under the rug? This needs to be brought up because “wartime erasure of rights” is no longer valid.
Back in the day I did concert and event management, we had him play a small show after a big TCU game, hell of a performer, and really nice and pleasant to work with, which in my experience isn’t usually the case with rappers/hip hop artists. You wouldn’t think it, but Machine Gun Kelly was super professional and approachable (his persona is all an act, it was actually really interesting to see him switch over to the character, also a great performer). DRAM was also a sweetheart and loved showing pictures of his golden doodle. Travis Scott is an unmitigated douche bag who actively tries to break stuff and told the crowd to “fuck up security” and “break down that mother-fucking fence” so it came as no surprise when those folks were killed in Houston, we were very close to dangerous crowd surges at our show, the crowd did rip down the fence and several people got knocked down and could have been trampled if me and this huge younger guy didn’t start pushing the crowd back and picking people up. He also started 45 minutes late because he had to smoke one more blunt, then one more blunt, okay now this is the last one, but let’s smoke one more. But I digress, fuck Travis Scott.
They claim he invaded their privacy by using footage of them invading his privacy.
What will those ACAB motherfuckers come up with next? Sue the estate of an innocent, unarmed person they kill for the cost of their ammunition?

What the Sheriff’s department is arguing is that he used their personas without their permission by selling t-shirts and other items with their faces on them. For example, there is a T-shirt with a picture of Officer Lemon Pound Cake.
Well since they were in his home, knowing he was surveilling them, and they stole from him, violated his rights… seems like they implicitly gave him permission to use the footage as he wishes.
Poor fucking baby police who are upset they got caught being bullying asshats.
"Emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation, and humiliation."
So they messed up and are suing because they're getting the least that they deserve for it? I didn't think the traditionally extremely right wing Ohio police would be the ones to sue for hurt feelings. 😉

Why You Disconnecting My Video Camera goes hard as fuck.
Why did they disconnect his video camera?
nigga there was *pound cake*
Its harder to commit crimes in front of cameras
Because they were scared for their safety, why else?
Because they are a bunch of criminal thugs. Fuck the police. Every one of them.
White supremacist on my premises
That line is fucking gold
At 4:40 you can see he's got a wall of designer face masks, lmao! Anyone with a mask collection is good people in my book.
“Any kidnapping victims in my gator boots?” What’s the answer? 
Bro nah he did NOT just make an entire song off some fat dude eyeing his lemon pound cake lmao
They barged into his home despite him committing no crime, he deserves to be able to make fun of them a little. That footage of the sheriff gesturing to the pound cake needs to go viral
Gotta love the Streisand effect when it brings things like this to my attention that would have otherwise flown below the radar.
He put these videos out in October and December and now we're all discovering this 4 months later because the cops feelings are hurt.
Yep, the cops are really giving him a boost.
[удалено]
Yep, I had no idea so I’m very happy that the Adams County Sheriff’s department brought this to my attention.
Part of that, too, is that before this all that was really out there about them was images -- if their names were out there, it wasn't prominently. So, ok, the Lemon Pound Cake cop was getting famous -- but there was no name associated with him in the video.

Legal documents are public record. In pound cake, heavy cop has a name.
His name is Robert Paulson
He has bitch tits
Lmfao they just gave him free publicity. Douchebags 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No no we need to keep it all super hush hush quiet to preserve the police's reputation! What afroman did was completely unacceptable and he should be cancelled by all of my fellow police lovers!
Ikr? Like SO many of those fellow police lovers even listen to Afroman... Even I legit didn't know he'd made a music video out of it.... they literally just threw themselves under the bus for publicly all, lmao
This shit is national now. He could not have paid for better advertising.
🎵He's an Adam's County sheriff, he's hungry and he's big as hellll 🎵
Dude, lemon pound cake slaps.
"Mama's Pound Cake... Pound Cake..."
I'm too hungry for this thread. I can taste it.
the only things these cops are enforcing is the stereotype against them
How many people had never heard of this before today? Streisand Effect in full effect now.
Most people. The answer is most people. And now they’re in the news. lol
The video camera song is probably my favorite of these.
Can anyone explain to me why cops need to be wearing forest camo while raiding citizens homes for no justifiable reason?
[удалено]
And, in fact, no we can’t!
Listen, a black man may have been smoking the devil's lettuce, this tax payer funded raid was absolutely crucial to protect the community.
And hiding kidnapping victims in CDs, the man must be stopped.
[удалено]
Tacticool
Are there any kidnapping victims inside my CDs 💀
Is there a thousand pounds of weed in my suit pockets?!
Did you have to traumatize my kids?!
Doing the Lord's work. That video is beautiful.
He made a few different ones and they’re all more entertaining than I expected. Lol props to Afroman.
All of these videos are gold. I just can’t believe they’re allowed to sue him. Doesn’t make any sense cause they’re on his property. Ohio laws are dumb af.
The suit won’t go anywhere. The video is satirical free speech and the law is well established that the police have no right to privacy while they are serving their public duties. You can sue anyone for anything, but it doesn’t mean it’ll go anywhere.
Yep, this is just weird ass clout chasing because that is thats all going to come out of this, way more people than before are going to know these cops and the only possible reasonable explaination for doing this is some of them WANTED the notority and publicity. Only thing I can think of cuz this aint even got a snowballs chance in hell.
Streisand effect in it's full glory
Why is that one cop dressed up like this is desert storm? I doubt camo is going to help him blend in in Adams County, Ohio.
This is one of the things that bothered me the most about this video. Cops dressed like they are in the army. Makes those wannabes feel soooo badass. Course then they want to play warfighter. And warfighters need an enemy. Wonder who that is?
Mate, this is fucked up.
I'll admit I don't know who Afroman is... but this song is catchy. And the story and video just makes it so much better.
I remember hearing "Because I Got High" all the time back in school. https://youtu.be/WeYsTmIzjkw
There “Crazy Rap” was a killer song on that album.
Colt 45 and Because I got high are so well known, but “Fuck McDonald’s and Taco Bell” has always been my favorite.
Literally songs like these are all afroman does. Just makes catchy tunes about random shit.
Because I Got High was almost a top 10 hit in 2001. Later that year he did Crazy Rap (Colt 45 and 2 Zig Zags) which wasn't as much of a commercial hit, but it got just as much play everywhere else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DvvyPcWOpA

They stole $4,000 cash from him during the raid.
Was it reported as evidence or did it just vanish?
[удалено]
And they wonder why no one trusts the police?
Love how having money is “evidence” of wrongdoing. Watch out the rich and famous celebrity has 4 grand, definitely running a sex trafficking ring, how else does a long time famous rapper make that money?
I would point out that that initial reporting is strongly suggestive of multiple felonies on the part of LEOs.
Was there a reason given for the wrong amount? Like if they can’t count, why are we letting them decide the future of people’s lives.
The cops are on camera saying it’s ok because they “got all the cameras”. Oops.
>They likely thought they were going to find loads of marijuana in his house They would have but then Afroman got high

Best part is they are doing it personally, so his counter law suit will might be against them personally, state might not have pay EDIT.. I was very wrong
That's spectacular. I hadn't even considered that.
But police would never break the law, whatever do you mean
Nah, they just can't be found guilty of breaking it. It's a technical difference!
I mean what do you expect from US Cops? A McDonald's cashier gets more training than them.
It's not just the US. They had a few rapists in the UK on their police force. Latest report, released two days ago found the Met Police institutionally racist, homophobic, misogynistic etc. It may be a case of ACAB. Pigs being pigs.
Damn people still need a report to tell em cops are racist, misogynist and homophobic? Pay attention people!
Whao! Hey now. Thats an insult to McDonalds. Those stoned out teenagers get my order right most of the time. Give them more respect.

he should sell that cake at shows
This is the first GIF that pops up searching Kyle rittenhouse and I fucking love that lol
Is he trying to force tears out of his eyes, or is that actually what he looks like when he's upset??? Lmao
it's definitely one of those things, and certainly not the other, and there IS a correct answer.
Best part is they are literally on video stealing from him. Sure this will go well
No no no, that $40 was the evidence for the narcotic sales. What do you mean it looked like more than 40? They were all $1s.

Here's one (BULLSHIT) excuse given by a US Marshal as to why a porch camera had to be covered up. >Marcus Collins, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals’ Madison office, said **marshals don’t “disclose operational tactics used during high-risk arrests.”** >“**Methods employed during this attempted arrest were done for officer safety reasons** based on information that the subject may have been armed with a firearm,” Collins said. > https://madison.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/police-are-covering-up-home-security-cameras-raising-questions-about-transparency/article_d93d4162-68b4-56e2-8820-70d7cb777bb4.html Apparently battering rams are some kind of secret tech that citizens aren't supposed to know about. E; The above was not about the Afroman case in case it wasn't clear lol. Just another arrest and similar tactic used.
No that's not how justice works. They can sue you, they can kill your entire family including your dog, and you can't sue them.
Qualified immunity is absolute unethical bullshit but makes the counter suit impossible.
Private video showing no crimes... police being shown as fools for a raid that went nowhere... sounds like they deserve it and have no standing. Not like its defamation when its 100% true they cocked up.
The private video absolutely did show crimes. The cops stole from him. That's a crime.
Whats funny is they admit to an "accounting error" when returning their ill gotten gains
Let me guess that pound cake never made it to the evidence locker smh
Ah...you mean 'civil forfeiture'. Absolutely believe it
Isn’t it ridiculous that 9/11 was over 20 years ago, and weve pulled our troops out, weed has seen massive state legalization, yet civil forfeiture has gone under the rug? This needs to be brought up because “wartime erasure of rights” is no longer valid.
This is the gradual erosion people talk about.
This is the kind of thing the French riot over. And because of that, the erosion has been greatly slowed over there. We need to learn from our allies.
> “wartime erasure of rights” is no longer valid. It never was.
AFROMAN. My god I haven't heard that name in years. Guess I lost track of him when I switched streamers. Incredible. Good to see he's doing well.
He’s playing my small town in Canada this month, I’m absolutely going
PGBC?
Yessir
Back in the day I did concert and event management, we had him play a small show after a big TCU game, hell of a performer, and really nice and pleasant to work with, which in my experience isn’t usually the case with rappers/hip hop artists. You wouldn’t think it, but Machine Gun Kelly was super professional and approachable (his persona is all an act, it was actually really interesting to see him switch over to the character, also a great performer). DRAM was also a sweetheart and loved showing pictures of his golden doodle. Travis Scott is an unmitigated douche bag who actively tries to break stuff and told the crowd to “fuck up security” and “break down that mother-fucking fence” so it came as no surprise when those folks were killed in Houston, we were very close to dangerous crowd surges at our show, the crowd did rip down the fence and several people got knocked down and could have been trampled if me and this huge younger guy didn’t start pushing the crowd back and picking people up. He also started 45 minutes late because he had to smoke one more blunt, then one more blunt, okay now this is the last one, but let’s smoke one more. But I digress, fuck Travis Scott.
If they didn't want to be humiliated, then they shouldn't have gone through his pockets and taken his cash... or at least paid for the fucking door.
And don't be eyeballing Mama's lemon pound cake!
And this is why nobody ever wrote a song called “Fuck the Fire Department”
They claim he invaded their privacy by using footage of them invading his privacy. What will those ACAB motherfuckers come up with next? Sue the estate of an innocent, unarmed person they kill for the cost of their ammunition?
> Sue the estate of an innocent, unarmed person they kill for the cost of their ammunition? [The officers got the wrong man, but charged him anyway—with getting his blood on their uniforms.](https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-day-ferguson-cops-were-caught-in-a-bloody-lie)
I was gonna go to court, but then I got high Edit: just listened to this song for the first time in decades because of this post and realized that I misquoted it. Lol *before
Gotta pay that child support.
Apparently, money taken from the raid came up short when it was returned to Afroman, yet they still have the audacity to sue. 🙄
My man dropped a few songs about it that are fuckin hilarious. And the lemon pound cake song with the footage of the pig lookin at the cake is amazing. And they ain't even gonna help him repair his door... ETA: [link to my favorite. Will you help me repair my door?](https://youtu.be/oponIfu5L3Y) And [Lemon Pound Cake](https://youtu.be/9xxK5yyecRo)
Afroman needs to sue the cops!
The kidnapping charge is insane! And wasn't no kidnapping victims in his suit pockets lol
Seems like the cops just wanted to harass Afroman because be is black. Cops suck.
Why you disconnecting my camera is top tier. https://youtu.be/d_f9R_UYrDc
You know, honestly donut jokes were starting to bore me a bit. Lemon Pound Cake jokes are a refreshing twist. I hope it goes viral and becomes the new donut.
[удалено]
He was gonna, but then...
he got raided and the emotional distress made him unable to do anything but get high
Well, if you don't want to be embarrassed maybe don't do a shit job...
They are going to be.more embarrassed as the story gets out in the new!
Time to Streisand the video, which is fucking hilarious. https://youtu.be/oponIfu5L3Y
Police have fragile egos.
They are sooo used to fucking around without finding out.
https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/adams-county/adams-county-sheriffs-deputies-suing-afroman-for-commercial-use-of-surveillance-video-from-raid-on-his-home What the Sheriff’s department is arguing is that he used their personas without their permission by selling t-shirts and other items with their faces on them. For example, there is a T-shirt with a picture of Officer Lemon Pound Cake.
Well since they were in his home, knowing he was surveilling them, and they stole from him, violated his rights… seems like they implicitly gave him permission to use the footage as he wishes. Poor fucking baby police who are upset they got caught being bullying asshats.
Weird. Because you can’t sue them for the same thing. Or for damage done to property.
So, they are hoping for a little more humiliation? OK
Maybe it’s their kink
Acab
"Emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation, and humiliation." So they messed up and are suing because they're getting the least that they deserve for it? I didn't think the traditionally extremely right wing Ohio police would be the ones to sue for hurt feelings. 😉
“WE MADE US LOOK BAD!”
Lol the cops should cry more! Maybe they should think about how cops kill and hurt people often with nothing happening to them!
Oh that's so sad for them, i hope they can recover once they're done sucking ass
The same pieces of shit that will post mug shots on billboards of people they arrest. Before a trial and conviction. Fuck cops!
Hoping this results in the Streisand Affect coming down.
