What started as an attempt to “carry the squad” for laughs has now turned into a serious legal battle after one man’s antics ended with police involvement—and a lawsuit that could cost him dearly.
The incident, partially captured on bodycam footage, shows officers confronting a young man outside a public building after reports of disruptive behavior. According to witnesses, the man had been performing stunts with friends, reportedly carrying large props and making a scene that drew attention from passersby. What was supposed to be a lighthearted moment quickly escalated into something far more serious when police were called to the scene.
Officers arrived to find the man sitting on the ground with a large metallic object beside him, appearing both defensive and bewildered by the confrontation. In the footage, one officer is seen calmly questioning him while another attempts to de-escalate the situation. The man insists that he was “just having fun” with friends and never intended to cause any harm.
However, officials later revealed that property damage had occurred during the stunt, and a bystander claimed to have been injured in the process. That accusation opened the door for legal action. Within days, the young man found himself at the center of a lawsuit alleging negligence and reckless behavior.
Legal experts explain that while viral stunts may seem harmless, they can carry real-world consequences when property or public safety is involved. “Once there’s damage or someone claims injury, it’s no longer just a prank—it becomes a liability,” one attorney noted.
The case has ignited debate online, with some viewers defending the man as someone simply trying to entertain his friends, while others criticize him for recklessness. Memes have already spread across social media with captions mocking the situation: “Tried to carry the squad, ended up carrying the lawsuit.”
The police department involved has emphasized that their role was to keep the peace and ensure public safety. They confirmed that the man was not taken into custody at the scene but that the civil lawsuit is now moving forward. If the plaintiff’s claims hold up in court, the financial consequences could be significant.
For the man at the center of it all, what began as an attempt to earn laughs and possibly a few viral views has turned into a cautionary tale about the risks of going too far. As one commenter bluntly put it: “Fun ends when the lawyers show up.”
This incident serves as yet another reminder in the age of viral content—sometimes chasing clout can cost more than it’s worth.
