And he slams his gavel and says give the lady her damn penis back.

(19,067 posts)When he approached her,... she screamed out I got more balls than you do too. In a huff he then proceeded to arrest her. It took him three hours to pat her down. She almost didn't fit in the paddy wagon because she seemed to have an erection. What a day at the precinct.

(664 posts)Pretty clear his fee fees were offended by her protest, and made up the disturbing the peace, etc. BS.
