It took me a while! "Lawyer....", "law.....yer..." "laaaawyir".
No matter the question: ‘lawyi… lawyi… lawyer!’
Just be careful not to evolve into a LawyerDawg
For anyone who doesn't get this, a person wanted to envoke their right to an attorney and asked for his "lawyer dawg." The police maliciously interpreted this as asking for a lawyer dog, which you have no right to, and the court agreed that that was a reasonable assumption and that the guy did not envoke his right to an attorney, so they did nothing wrong by not providing one.
Surely that can't be true?!

That is so ridiculous 😂
Justice isn't blind, she never existed.
