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.

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.

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.
