|
| HN title is wildly misleading.

| I don't think so. The HN title accurately describes two events

| The most easily misinterpreted part of the headline to me is it

| sheriff's office in Ohio.

| You don't have to be on the cops' side to see that the
| headline is ridiculously misleading.

| Either way I hope things go Afroman's way on this. The raid
| itself was complete clown shoes.

| Insert "we are not a police state" <here>
|
| Potential suggested discussion: what are best practices in law-
| enforcement-proofing (think local/state police, not feds) our
| home security recording setups? Somewhere towards the beginning
| of our video police can be seen physically covering an outside
| camera, & towards the end they're seen physically disconnecting
| the entire setup (to the best of my knowledge)
|
| So, at this point the best thing is cameras hiding in plain
| sight? Stealthily integrated into furniture? Idk.
|
| p.s. - this happened extremely close to my childhood home & where
| I spent most of my life.

| which cameras are real and just go on about your non-private
| business (which is all of it).

|
| Now they're saying his making a video with their faces in it is
| making their jobs harder. Like dude you made your jobs harder
| when you commit perjury to get a warrant. You make your jobs
| harder when you smash down the victims door and swarm his home
| with guns.
|
| If the cops didn't want to be famous for violating other people's
| rights maybe they should stop violating people's rights?

| If the cops break into your house based on completely fabricated

| should be your right to record and disseminate footage of the
| illegal home invasion however you like.

| "US police" ???

| Contrary to weird headline, this was Adams County Sheriff's
| Office, and I know that fact because the Afroman video is still
| on Heavy Rotation for me.

| Indeed, just saw his remoxed video for the first time

|
| Love that he's asking them via rap lyrics if they are going to
| help fix his gate etc since they found nothing, and the first
| response by them was to sue because it showed them being what
| we all know that are?
|
| I'm more depressed about this planet daily, my cup feels full.

| "Homeowner" is a celeb [Afroman] and the "CCTV footage" was

| HN is exactly as wildly biased as all the other big tech sites.

| It pretends to be unbiased but it's not.
|
| You'll be flagged/banned for pointing this out.
