I just don’t understand how anybody could see what happened to this man and not understand just how deeply corrupt the police and judges in this case are. Every single one of them belongs in prison, or more accurately underground.

And this goes for all cops everywhere. ACAB

I know the case wasn't actually about this but I can't understand why when executing a search warrant looking for kidnap victims you would proceed to ransacked the kitchen. Stick your head in there, is there anyone tied up in there, nope. So then you leave, I doubt someone's been held captive in the cutlery drawer.

I only watched one of his videos, but there was a whole verse about that.

"Any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?" he sings, over footage of cops rummaging through the jackets hanging in his closet.

Well as a matter of course cops look for drugs. Even when the resident called them for completely unrelated reasons

It's in the banana republic after all.
In their reasoning he should be happy he wasn't shot.
(which could very well have happened if he was at home)

Hey, don't be mean to mushrooms. They don't deserve dead cops. 🥹

I suggest we feed them to sharks to create a genetic line that crave the flesh of US police.

Next.. Legs.

The sharks don't want lead poisoning thank you very much.

Microplastics and genetic deformities of the brain, more like, but yeah, the old ones should've been fulla lead decades ago.
