    John Oliver reminding me why i hate the Philadelphia police department. And this is not even counting the fact that they unalived a 12 year old while he was face down in the street. Eff the PPD.

    I hope John sees this. That sock and cold feet joke is priceless. 6:46 I watch the show on yt while driving a truck doing local deliveries in Atlanta. I laughed for way too long at that joke. Love ya man
