Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Two, three, four.

Hello, fellow law nerds. Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyard, a ReWired News Group podcast podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is tired of the

hypocrisy. Tired of Clarence Thomas. Tired of the bullshit, frankly. I'm Rewire Newsgroup's executive

producer of legal content and culture. Imani Gandhi. Yes, I have a new title now. She does. And I'm

Jess Peeklo, ReWire News Group's other executive producer of legal

content and advocacy. Rewar News Group is the one and only home for expert Reaper journalism

that inspires you to thumb your nose at Clarence Thomas because that man has it coming to him.

And the Boomlord podcast is part of that mission. So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners and viewers.

So we like to start off our show with a segment we like to call WTF.

What the fuck is going on?

And boy, howdy, do I have a story for you?

All right. Picture it, Philadelphia, 2026. I don't know why I'm going all like a stalgety on this, but...

It's because of the Josh Mancowicz episode. You are still in dateline mode.

That's what it is. Okay, so five white male Philadelphia police officers are suing the city of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love because they didn't get promoted under the city's new, quote, rule of five system.

This rule of five system replaces the rule of two system, which basically said the top two candidates would automatically get the

promotion. They started the rule of five system so that the makeup of the Philadelphia Police Department

would reflect the black-ass nature of the city of Philadelphia, right? Right. Like having only white

cops, police, black people generally hasn't worked out pretty well.

Okay.

So, of course, they are framing this as discrimination against white men, right?

The DE monster has made, has struck again, eh, skipping out telephone poles and like killing builders.

Really?
