Representative public comments
"Michael was awarded 46k and all the investigators were demoted and suspended without pay" holy shit that was satisfying to hear
“Wrongfully imprisoned for just over two years.” That breaks my heart.
The investigator was like: "so you are gay" "no I'm not gay" "why are you gay"
4:46 "if you've got no questions then why am i in an interrogation room?" good for him for keeping his cool man
"The interrogating officer and three other investigators were demoted and suspended without pay." Music to my ears.
“Suspect is a small white dude." "Okay, we got him." Brings back Dwayne Johnson
