He wasn't beaten for being trans, he was beaten for daring to flip off a cop. Look at the guy. Think the cop knew? Nah, he was just being a cop.

Best part is officers who covered up getting fired. That's a rare thing!

Oh sure act all high and mighty but can you really say you wouldn’t…

…abandon the victim of domestic violence in pursuit of honor?

You’re just gonna let protected speech occur even when it hurts your feelings?! Pretty soon you’d live in a world where more than one person might momentarily silently lift a body part in a fully legal manner… without even fearing being killed for it.
