Paging Mike Myers

I simply cannot allow the opening lines of this morning's D.C. Circuit decision in Johnson v. D.C. go without comment:

Juan Johnson is a police officer whose off-duty act of kindness to a stranger in distress landed him in the middle of a drug bust in which he was repeatedly kicked in the groin by a police officer who mistook him for a criminal.

I look forward to Mike Myers's cinematic adaptation.
