      Dumbass performs an act of aggression and is surprised when the favor is returned.

      Pigs are trained professionals. If they cannot control their little piggy feelings, they should seek less porcine employment.

          If a cop just acts like some random “guy with a gun” who might shoot you at the slightest provocation they probably shouldn’t have a gun.
          Or be a cop.
          An honest cop should be keeping a close eye on that guy.

            I don’t disagree. It’s just also stupid to assume that the cop you flip off WON’T flip out. For all the “all cops are bad” messaging that’s going around, you’d think one would want to play it safe. Two things can be true at once: the cop absolutely escalated this beyond what was called for, and the victim was stupid to instigate anything in the first place.

          I want that pig to lose his job and go to jail. You’re just happy that he beat a trans person.

      You seriously think flipping a person off is an act of aggression worthy of being beaten?

      Like those are the two things being equated by you. That somehow a person who raises a middle finger at distance from another person might expect to be followed and beaten, that those two things make sense in this context.

      It’s that really how you think, or did someone trigger you in the comments and this is your version of being personally butthurt?

      The middle finger is a visual that frighted, scared, meager police would see as a threat. Hence their would also see their response in beating… as penance for doing something they don’t like.

      Tldr: fearfully weak cops care about only themselves.

      Problem is, when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Cops are constantly letting their spurs jingle-jangle and if they cannot start exhibiting some self-control, they will lose their most prized possession, their guns.
