    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.

      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.

      I do it to our local PD on Facebook in hope that they retaliate or I can claim retaliation if I get pulled over for something trivial.
