A lot of people, when they're commenting about this, will be like, they filed a defamation lawsuit because he said they like pound cake.

And maybe that one officer did.

But you have this officer, this female officer, who's a woman in a male-dominated field, has probably dealt with a lot of this kind of crap before.

who now all of a sudden has someone singing a song about her and portraying her in this light, calling her a man, calling her a lesbian, demonstrating what she's doing with other officers' wives.

And this is where the defamation thing starts to come in.

And we're going to talk about defamation more here in a second.

And this is not the only video that arguably crosses the line.

In another song, Afro Man suggests an officer was a pedophile using a picture of the officer with a young boy taken during a program that pairs officers with low-income children for Christmas shopping.

So basically, this officer in his free time is out in the community.

He's working with this program with low-income children.

He's doing this really nice thing.

And then all of a sudden,

He ends up in an Afro man video being called a pedophile and it being suggested that this is a child he's grooming for pedophilia.

And in another one, which became somewhat famous, Afro man saying about sleeping with the deputy's wife.

So these videos in particular, along with some of the other ones that are much more innocuous, culminated in a lawsuit against Afro Man alleging defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional violence.

distress for afro man's part he argued he was simply exercising his first amendment rights when he did this and as far as the the invasion of privacy he's using publicly available footage so the footage of the raid and honestly well i mean we can talk about some of the other ones more the invasion of privacy is completely weak that's not going anywhere that's a loser because yeah i mean this is all public stuff i don't even know how it could be invasion of privacy

Intentional infliction of emotional distress, even if some of that sounds pretty bad, to actually get someone for an intentional infliction of emotional stress, it has to be something like you stole the body of their dead mother and destroyed it.

Like it's that's literally an example.

intentional infliction of emotional harm you almost never ever get it even if you get the underlying substantive claim because defamation yeah defamation is the real thing here the idea that he is spreading false information about these officers and therefore he has defamed them and therefore he is liable

And this was one of the claims, one of the defamation claims from at least one of the officers was he called me a thief.
