I highly recommend people watch video from the trial--specifically the officer testimonies. It's absurd this lawsuit was even fit for trial.

View on HN

The bits I watched were so captivating I had to take them off, otherwise I wouldn't be getting anything done this afternoon.

Honestly, someone could adapt it to a script and run it in a live theater.

Now I know what I'm watching tonight!

Do you have a link? There are plenty of snippets that are easy to find, is there one canonical full video?

Here's a playlist that includes them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcopJNj12opkoEDaj5lwP...

With some strange commentary, ended up watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ozZIWy7OWk from that playlist and I'm not sure it's AI or what's going on, at one point she said Afroman called one of the police officers a "PDF" which is the first time I heard, doesn't seem Afroman actually said something like that, and I also don't understand at all what's that's supposed to mean. Doesn't seem to be a typo either?

"PDF" is a zoomer euphemism for "pedophile".

Funnily, this started because their trying to avoid perceived insta shadow banning.

Yes, this sort of thing has been a plague against the English language for a few years now, responsible for such ugly constructions as "to unalive".

(I understand and respect the linguists who would maintain a descriptivist view of this sort of thing, but I'm not a linguist and I'm not required to suspend my aesthetic opinions whenever an ugly fashion rears its head.)

Is it just me or did the judge seemed biased towards the cops? He also dismissed Afroman's counter-suit.

Unfortunately, cops have the right to break down your door if the warrant warrants it--like having a sex dungeon.

"..raid my house and then get pissed, because the dungeon don't exist.."

Bars.

That guy is like a court jester of old unleashed onto an unsuspecting, (and corrupt), 21st century steward class.
