Apparently a cop can just arrest you just because you call him a retard

Sure, that's great after the fact, if you have the resources to do it. It would be better if we didn't have law enforcement so capriciously violating people's rights in the first place.
Agree 100% . This should be a slam dunk case was my point. Shouldn't be hard to get and attorney to take this case. They will get a cut from the lawsuit.

Perhaps, but it still takes time and resources. Considering how difficult it is to sue over police misconduct, I wonder how easy it would be to get a lawyer on contingency.
Unfortunately the tax players. Bet this cop is not even fired unfortunately. This shit is entirely to common.
As long as cops don't bear any real penalties for their bad behavior, they'll keep doing it. Though taxpayers should take more control, we've already seen how much cops act like the mob when it comes to taxpayers exerting their authority: "that's a nice city you've got there, shame if something were to happen to it [if you cut our budget or impose real oversight]". One good thing that may come from these protests is city governments having the political capital to stand up to the police.

And you wonder why I have to pay $22000 a year in property taxes.
Taxes are totally different over here. That doesn't really mean anything to me.
That said any amount is too much for some authoritarian fuckhead to beat the shit out of you and detain you because his feels got hurt!

Any minute now the brave defenders of hate speech will here to say how wrong this officer was. Probably call for an armed march on the police station to defend their rights to.

Any minute now........

This awhile back and that asshole cop got fired



lol
Chief Mondary does want to make it clear that the officer did not break the law, “I want to emphasize that as strong as I can, that officer did not commit any crime at all. He did not violate that individual’s rights in any shape, fashion form that was a lawful contact, it was a lawful arrest based on probable cause.”

It's fucking appalling! Your police force is shockingly bad for a first world country.
I just checked and there are 20 other countries with a higher per capita killings. So it isn't like we are number 1. We are only like 5 times higher than Canada.

I am not sure what western Europe is doing but their cops obviously are now embracing LAW & ORDER!

In many, MANY ways we are the bottom of the "First World" list. America was on top for maybe 15 years after World War II, and we've been coasting on our glory for decades since. Its actually kinda shameful.

He had won the battle for his "space", (and rightfully so) and maybe should have left it at that. Calling him a "fucking retard" kind of escalated things needlessly.

Cops are losing their shit now that people are sick and tired of their heavy handed and abusive attitude to the public.

Go after the real criminals and stop fucking over the regular folks on petty power trips for just trying the live their lives and enjoy the freedoms we're promised.
