You don't have to be nice to cops. And they can't legally arrest you just for being mean.

Sure but there is rarely a benefit to going out of your way to be an asshole.

Idk I think we should normalize being mean to cops.* Maybe if they were berated everywhere they went instead feared, fewer people would want to be cops.

* this is obviously bad advice for many people in many situations. Cops can and will ruin or end your life with little or no provocation.

Uhh, did you see the video? If they're not gonna face punishment for it, then they just legally arrested him just for being mean.
