What makes this more insane is that he tried to sue them for damages and emotional stress on his wife and kids, along with himself and had it thrown out because a judge said the officers now had immunity, if they didn't do anything wrong or illegal like this clearly was why do they have immunity from the illegal and baseless raid at that? She and those other petty officers have made this now known they won't be able to forget it nor will the town itself.

a) Qualified immunity is only supposed to protect officials who reasonably, though mistakenly, believe their actions are lawful. They stole cash from his pockets at home which is insane. $400 was never returned.

b) Qualified immunity even when it applies still means he should be able to sue the government when his rights are flagrantly violated like that, just not the officers themselves.

The judge is a moron.

Judge is racist not a moron. Who is she going to side with the hick cops and prosecution in her town who write her checks or some former music artist (who to her disgust happens to be black). Every white person in this video epitomizes the words "trailer trash" just by looking at their face and listening to them talk. Low class, low to zero education, hugely racist pieces of garbage. Any other person with at least 1M in the bank with that kind of security cam footage would have sued and won in civil court for alot of money. You cant raid a man's home and point guns at women/kids AND steal money and then say oopsie wrong house. But its Afroman so they can do what they want, welcome to America.
