‘I can’t die like this’: Video shows trans man beaten by LA County Sheriff's deputy during stop - Lemmy.world

For those that would bother to read the article, the ‘victim’ flipped off the cop while driving. Sure, maybe the cop is an angry asshole, but the excessive force is just as likely to come from being flipped off as the cop seeing a transgender person.
Fuck cops, and fuck you for victim blaming. He has a constitutional right to flip off any cop, any time he wants for any reason, per the Supreme Court.
Fuck you too. Dumbass performs an act of aggression and is surprised when the favor is returned. Cop or not, that’s fucking stupid.

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

Didn’t say the reaction was equal to the action. Just saying that you shouldn’t be surprised when you FAFO.

That is not how any police should react.

ACAB

And upstanding school teachers probably shouldn’t be driving around flipping off cops. Everyone is an asshole.
So you’re saying those uppity folk need to know their place.

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.

Perhaps. Still, you really wanna fuck with the guy with the gun? That’s incredibly foolish.
I want that pig to lose his job and go to jail. You’re just happy that he beat a trans person.
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.
You can’t sympathize and victim blame at the SME time.
If someone flipped me off in public, the worst that would happen is I flip him off back. Why should a cop be any different?
Wow, text book cognitive dissonance.

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.

You’re a real piece of shit, you know that?
🖕🏻🖕🏿🖕🏽

lol you think it’s justifiable to get your ass beat for flipping someone off huh?

This guy trollin

Wait so you think a hand gesture justifies violence?
