I watched this for the first time about two minutes ago. But I remember when me and my friends were teenagers driving around in all our first cars we always thought of doing what the guy in this video did. I don’t know if it’s an urban myth of sorts but rumor had it that you could give a cop the finger and they can’t do anything about it.
Not okay. Bad cop. Mouse will eat your cheese (fuck your lady, or son if he’s legally an adult, or daughter for that matter, maybe even steal the affection of your pets)
Freedom of expression violated
Shut down donut shops for a week with no probation
Take away their guns
Make them wear cameras
Make them get go to school
No more power trip
Save for good cops, I was talking about bad cops
Good cops keep serving and protecting and letting me off with a warning when I make trivial violations of road law like not moving over two lanes for an emergency vehicle like this past summer. That was cool.
Crisis intervention team officers are the coolest. They specialize in me. They’re like “what are you on” and I’m like “schizophrenia medications” and they’re like “why did you run the stop sign?” And I’m like “because it’s 2am and I thought no one would be out” and they’re like “okay.”
Or they’re like “you’re drunk were taking you to a crisis assessment center” and I’m like “I’m sorry” but that was a very good while back
I’ve flipped off a cop before, but I don’t think he was looking.
One time I was on the run from the fuzz for a few days, not for breaking the law, but because the doc wanted to hospitalize me, and I fled the appointment, and when the cops found me, they attacked me like I was an armed criminal, and I was calling them all sorts of derogatory names and insulting them. I’m surprised they didn’t press charges. I remember saying they weren’t real cops, and one of them showed me his badge. I said I bet that’s not even real gold. He laughed and told me it sure isn’t. Then the mood was lightened, and we started being reasonable.
I was coming out from the pub after a family funeral with some of my cousins years ago. We brought a couple of cans of UDL’s each for the trip home as we decided to walk. UDL’s are premixed drinks like rum and coke in cans. it’s was pretty much in a very small country town in the middle of nowhere. We bumped into the local cop coming out. .One of my cousins was thinking of joining the force so was asking him tons of questions. In the end the cop offered us a ride home. So as one cousin was asking questions up the front. His brother and I was in the back of the patrol car. In the back was a box of paper work and a couple of different police hats. So there we are in the back of a police car drinking UDL’s trying on his hats. It was totally surreal.
Rightly or wrongly, the cops will not tolerate any attitude. The guy in this picture was way out of line, walking up to a cop and flipping him off, but I think the cop responded with excessive force. I think that in a lot of cases the cops could give tickets instead of making arrests. It would save the tax payer money in several different ways, and not expose the cops to charges of excessive force.
Fake video…
I agree, this is a fake video.
But in all seriousness, many cops today have been militarized - they are overly aggressive - and no they dont have to be this way.
Community policing, seems to be a thing of the past.
But this is an obviously phony video
Oh, they can and they will. Found that one out the hard way. Glad my teens are behind me.

Looked like a bullet hole in the guy’s car.
