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.

brilliant logic

As brilliant as a spit shine on a thousand boots

The only people I’ve seen casually start shit with cops are the ones who know they can access a lawyer.

It's easy to be brave when you know you aren't going to get beaten up.

That's why they should just obey?

You assert your rights in the courtroom, not the streets.

If you feel a deep need to get your ass kicked go right ahead.

Same, bootlicking.

So, you think you want to be the guy driving a junker with a busted tail light after some rich twit in a Tesla has talked shit to the cop?

Yes, I'm sure the cop will feel chastised

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yes then the rich guy would be responsible for the cop's actions

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So we agree. The rich guy has no right to talk shit when he knows he's safe and other people aren't.

If the rich guy wants to pay for lawyers for people hassled by cops he could show how he feels.

Yeah cops are animals that can't take responsibility for emotional regulation
