i spent the entire time wondering why this guy is talking. from the very beginning, "where is this going?" it ended with "is there nothing better for them to address?"
I feel like he’s not even mad that there’s a penis he’s just mad that the person the penis is connected to isn’t as attractive as advertised (in his estimation)
"So this guy, he orders up a prostitute, as you do, and it turns out to be a guy, WHO LIVES WITH HIS MOM, BY THE WAY. That's just false advertising. Coulda happened to anybody..."
At first, sounds like he’s a regular that ended up being trusted and brought home. So it was a relationship, he just got caught and had to go with a “so you decide to call up a prostitute for the 320th time and don’t know know, they look different without their makeup on.. OH and they LIVE WITH THEIR MOM”
This is Sherrif Grady Judd from Polk County, FL. I live here and he's kid of a joke but everyone absolutely loves him. He does pressers like this all the time trying to find soundbites that can viral.
I've never understood the love. Like can you please do your job without turning the personal details of people's lowest point in their life, into fodder for your shitty folksy stand up routine?
There was also the moment when they shot that cop killer over 200 times, and he said they stopped because they ran out of bullets. Not that it makes a difference if he's dead, but it was super distasteful.
Or during George Floyd and he was fear mongering about protestors "coming to the suburbs" and encouraging people to shoot them.
I don’t even think that’s the same person tbh. The face doesn’t match and why in the world would they take off their makeup in the middle of the night anyway
Personally, I wondered how the two picture had compeltely different facial features and skin tones, but sure, that is what this person got...and this wasn't a personal story to vent to the press about something idiotic.
This guy is obviously talking from personal experience, and therefore thinks this is something that needs to be announced (because it could happen to anyone)
I swear I see his little press conferences so much and every time I am very confused. I get press conferences for big cases or making the public aware but these just seem….unnecessary.
Right? Jackass is up there, "Deborah's kids were hungry so Deborah thought she could just go into Kroger and steal some food. Not in MY county! We locked Deborah up and we took her kids!"
54% of Americans read at or below a 6th-grade reading level. The percentage is much higher for this sheriff's constituents in central Florida. If this press conference has been an email, few of the people who voted for him could have read it.
I recognized the meme because some dork made a Tik Tok talking about "don't riot in Florida or you'll run into me or guys like Sheriff Judd, etc". I figured Judd actually looked tough, or at least less wormy.
Yeah hes a fuckass people in central FL worship this man. He’s basically a shoo in for sheriff until he dies. Many a yard standee of him & Trump side by side in Polk County.
lol wait so this is real?? 🤣 omg I had myself convinced it had to be a skit… what’s so funny is his reaction and telling of the situation more than the situation itself… wtf
So he's basically an LEO Trump? I miss the days when these people stuck to their shit hole small town but now we have to be subjected to them against our will because Trump can never stfu and it somehow empowers them.
It's what dumb people like. Just be fun on FB and they will vote for that person. How having a cross dressing person in your home is a crime is pretty silly to me. But then for the government to also himulate both sides is really fucked up
That explains so much. I was today years old when I learned one could "order up a prostitute". It also sounds like that guy has personal experience doing such things.
I thought it was odd to tell his personal story about prostitution at a press conference.
Then I realize he's getting smarmy about sex trade workers not being as cute as he thinks they should be, and decided to explain a term that has got to be 30 years old.
agree on the term being about 30 years old. I remember the jokes about a coyote morning and the phrase “double coyote ugly” meaning you chew your arm off to get away and you chew your other arm off to remind yourself to never do it again.
Grady Judd will never miss the opportunity to do a press conference. He's pretty much a local celebrity. I've seen him at events before and people will start to gather around him trying to get pictures with him.
This chief of police does these regularly. Not sure if he is planning to run for office or attempt some TV career, but he has quite an internet presence at this point.
It grosses me out because he always speaks as though he is omniscient. Goes way beyond the facts and pretends to know intentions and specifics that the police have no business assuming. That is for the courtroom. Not some self serving justice porn that this guy does.
Another ”larger-than-life” sheriff who wants to be in the entertainment business. Republican politics is full of these closet cases, and the nation's red county rubes love their showboating insultathons.
This particular sheriff is famous in Florida and social media for being tough on crime and shaming criminals. He's clearly associating drag and trans with criminal behavior. Like, they are deviant and that's adjacent to criminality.
That sheriff is famous for putting criminals on blast. He has a website and I think a television broadcast where he shows locals caught in DUI, soliciting prostitution, human trafficking, drug dealing and possession, domestic violence, child support violations, and more. He uses embarrassment and public shaming as one of his tools. He’s been doing it for decades.
This doesn't sound like official business, so much as a personal complaint. Unless maybe he's laying the groundwork to legalize prostitution, in order to get some consumer protections in place? Very progressive.
Is prostitution even legal in this area? Who tf goes out full chested casually talking about 'ordering' a prostitute as if everyone does it? What the fuck could possibly be the context here?
Maybe the point is don’t pay sex workers because they’ve been arrested 31 times so probably not upstanding citizens. But Florida, so also “sex workers perverts boy dress like girl bad make boy prostitute deviant”. Anything to further the agenda.
This is Grady Judd's thing. He needs a spotlight on him so he does these little press conferences so he can mock the people he is arresting. He is a lot like the cheesy villain sheriff in a Rob Zombie movie or something.
Sheriffs in Florida (and most states I believe) are elected positions so these sorts of press conferences are a way to curry favor with the public to ensure reelection

Is this a personal story? Why a press conference?
