Finding out Afroman is raising his family in one of the most impoverished parts of Southern Ohio was strange. I wonder if he doesn’t have much $ in the form of royalties flowing in.

Can someone tell me about the person dressed in full camo gear and sporting an assault rifle during the raid? Do police departments outsource some of their work to third party contractors for raids like this? Is this person part of some local militia? Shot of the person I'm talking about at 2m11s [0].

Presumably SWAT captain, for dealing with the possible threat of well-armed cartel dens. Afroman has good taste though, those HS-5s sound beautiful, surprised he didn't spring for the 8inch subs though. Guess it's simple if you're not mastering jungle.
I’m telling you, the only way out of this mess is to eliminate qualified immunity, and becoming a cop should entail forfeiting many civil rights in exchange for insurmountable amount of power a cop has. US police is basically a military, and should be treated as such.
Replying to the dead comment below "They’re low skill jobs..." Being a /good/ cop requires very high skills, and it's an unavoidably political job, so I think a union is going to be an essential part of it. I agree that the current situation in much of the USA is really bad, though.
You might sever the connection between the police force and the administration and reduce the size of departments down to the level of details and make them all much more directly accountable to the judiciary and the population they police. In larger areas the details can offer support and oversight in a way they are currently unable to.
There are tons of things a prevalent and inexpensive internet connectivity was supposed to drastically improve. This should be one of them, to remove the need for severe top down military style policing that intersects with administrative politics.
On the other hand, I don't know the full situation and trying to infer information from this submitted video.
The author seems to admit that narcotics on warrant were justified (or at least logical). I am not sure what his expectation is. Aren't you risking years of jail because of that alone? Seems wildly irresponsible if he has family and kids. On the other hand, I don't know the full situation and trying to infer information from this submitted video.

I can't believe I'm pointing this out on HN of all places, but if making a song about weed gets your house raided and is considered probable cause, then the government is infringing your first amendment rights.

Warrant picture shows 'trafficking in drugs', not making a song about weed. I am not sure about full context.

Isn’t the point of those monitors that they are standardised to sound like a median domestic audio system? That feels like the opposite of having exceptional sound.
