> pedofile

apparently, the deputy in question has a brother who was a deputy as well but was fired and charged with a sexual misdemeanor against minors.

Afroman also said he steals money during traffic stops and he was accused of that multiple times.

Of course that's not bulletproof evidence but a reasonable person might assume these rumours are not completely unfounded

EDIT: also the deputy of course didn't steal the money. He miscounted - when seizing the money he put 4630$ in the envelope but wrote 5000$ on it (which is the amount Afroman thought he had there)

> but a reasonable person might assume these rumours to be true

From all the claims Afroman made, it seems the cop sued because of the whole "He claimed he had sex with my wife, which reflects poorly on me", presumably because he only has a chance to win the suit if there is actual lies. The same video seems to have texts about how he crashed into civilians, stealing pills/money and more, but none of that was brought up in the suit, only the cheating part.

I thought it was big time defamation risk for Afroman to call him a pedofile.. but maybe the cop is afraid of discovery in this case..
"Of course?"

Where is that coming from?

Do you seriously not believe (well, know) that sadly, many cops do this ALL THE TIME?
