- Should have thought,
"Oh, boy, I hope my daughter
don't see her mama
carted away in handcuffs"?

Which, don't come at a mama

Full-on arrest scenario.
Fingerprints, perp photo.

She's the one with all the connections.
The lawyers, judges.
When they called, the police said you
shocked a cop, so
On accident, to be fair.
Yeah. Well,
Danish says the boys
in blue get real miffed
when you rough 'em up, so,
not sure how easy he
can make this go away.
You might have to do
