The only people I've seen casually start shit with cops are the ones who know they can access a lawyer.
As a person who lives one town over from there. I too salute those brave workers. But at same time I wouldn't doubt it if the cops faled this for outrage. And fuck Mark Allen GMC and his back the blue banner.
Well that makes sense both practically and morally.
Folks in positions of privilege (e.g. means and access to good lawyers) should use said position to fight for more justice.
People of privilege pissing off cops means that cops will be twice as nasty to the poor folks who can't get away with it.
So rich people treating cops like garbage isn't moral at all.
brilliant logic
As brilliant as a spit shine on a thousand boots
It's easy to be brave when you know you aren't going to get beaten up.
That's why they should just obey?
You assert your rights in the courtroom, not the streets.
If you feel a deep need to get your ass kicked go right ahead.
Pussy
What? Are you in 3rd Grade?
Reported and blocked.
Same, bootlicking.
So, you think you want to be the guy driving a junker with a busted tail light after some rich twit in a Tesla has talked shit to the cop?
Yes, I'm sure the cop will feel chastised
yes then the rich guy would be responsible for the cop's actions
So we agree. The rich guy has no right to talk shit when he knows he's safe and other people aren't.
If the rich guy wants to pay for lawyers for people hassled by cops he could show how he feels.
Yeah cops are animals that can't take responsibility for emotional regulation
Starting shit with the cops never ends well. Just a tip from someone who got roughed up by the cops in TX for having long hair as a male and NOT having any dope. They searched us all and our VW bus thinking they'd fill their quota of felony arrests and we were clean as a whistle. We hadn't even been drinking. So they took it out on us. FTP.
Exactly. You assert your rights in the courtroom, not in the streets.
If you don't get shot.
