He didn't expect to die Tuesday; they found him wearing silk panties. Now girls' underwear is a major focus of the investigation, go figure. His ole man says the cops planted them on him. Like, 'lingerie Squad! Freeze!' I don't ****** think so.

It is a humorous allusion to the common police drama where the police come crashing into a room somewhere to arrest a criminal shouting "Police, freeze!", or more specifically "Drug Squad, freeze!", "Homicide Squad, Freeze!", etc.
The intention is to convey the embarrassment of being caught in silk panties, indicating both the suddenness of the shock and the 'wrongness' by implying there is a police squad specifically tasked for such 'crimes'.
