It's worth watching the original video, it shows the officers damaging his property, eating his cake and doing various other questionable things [VIDEO]

> I claim that Afroman is a criminal. At 1:44 his own video ( [VIDEO] ) says "well, I know why narcotics" regarding the warrant. So I think he'd be OK with that statement of opinion . If that was defamation, warrants like the one in this case are defamatory, having asserted he kidnapped someone.

The teen should make a music video of the footage to help raise funds for their legal defense, as Afroman did with hits like Lemon Pound Cake ( [LINK] ) and Will You Help Me Repair My Door ( [VIDEO] ). The right to record the police in public is well established now, and the claims the police are making (that technically Nathan Winter of the Newton Police Department is not a "convicted" domestic abuser, he's just an "accused" domestic abuser with a judge issuing a protective order against him) seem more likely to defame them than a brief caption in the teen's posted arrest video.
