Speaker 1 (00:00):
A Detroit police officer had to be summoned in virtually
for a court hearing on one of his cases. Matthew
Jackson appeared before the judge and the courtroom virtually on
a monitor as they brought him up. He was there uniform,
top badge, boxer shorts, no pants. The judge asked officer,
(00:26):
you got some pants on, to which he replied no.
Then he adjusted the phone to crop out everything below
his waist he could no longer tell he wasn't wearing pants,
while the courtroom just sat on looking at each other like,
what the hell just happened, because at this juncture, you know,
the dude's not wearing any pants, and everybody just proceeds on.
