Is there anything more satisfying than watching cops get legally spanked? If you know an answer to this don't tell me, I'm having a good time.

Watching them get fired for breaking the law so brazenly the department has no other choice. Sorry, couldn't keep that one to myself

Generally not big on lawyers, but this guy I can get behind.

I was taking to my dad today and he said "My lawyer is an asshole" and i said "Dad you don't have to say lawyer twice" and I laughed and he laughed and the TV laughed and it was great

If you need a lawyer, get a bastard. Lesson from my father. He was correct.

Damn that was a good read!

Any followup on this? Would love to see IMG's response.

Based on what I know of the law, IMG has currently retreated almost fully into the pelvis, and is now in the legal state of "The Pool Was Cold". They will eventually attempt to erect a defense, but for now counsel will need to fluff the case, as their position is inverted.

Mike Dunforth is great. I hang out on a discord server associated with his Twitch stream, where he does videos talking about various goings-on in the courts and what-not. Also weekly minecraft.
