A look at American police impunity and lack of accountability that's only exacerbated by the Streisand effect.

"A group of police officers who raided the home of rapper Afroman have sued the musician for "emotional distress" after he used footage of the botched raid in music videos for his songs “Lemon Pound Cake” and “Will You Help Me Repair My Door,” as well as in social media posts. The officers allege they have faced embarrassment, ridicule, humiliation, and loss of reputation from Afroman’s posts. "

And for you listers unsure who Afroman is?
Well he's the first rapper to go viral for his 2000 hit song "Because I got High" on Napster.
And before you start thinking "So what?"
This was Kenya's Technology scene in 2000.
Respect.
