    If he picked up 5 cups of coffee from starbucks, he most likely ordered through the mobile app.

    Which would mean he set his own name to Pig for his mobile order. If he ordered at the register you’re telling me they looked the cop in the eyeballs and typed pig into the order prompt?

    This sounds like bullshit

        Police are Angling for protected class status. They want discriminating against police officers to be illegal like discrimination against minorities

      If they want to advertise the idea that hatred of police is becoming normalized they are essentially doing the abolition movement’s job for them.

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

      As a person who lives one town over from there. I too salute those brave workers. But at same time I wouldn’t doubt it if the cops faled this for outrage. And fuck Mark Allen GMC and his back the blue banner.

      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.

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

            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

                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.

      Starting shit with the cops never ends well. Just a tip from someone who got roughed up by the cops in TX for having long hair as a male and NOT having any dope. They searched us all and our VW bus thinking they’d fill their quota of felony arrests and we were clean as a whistle. We hadn’t even been drinking. So they took it out on us. FTP.

      I do it to our local PD on Facebook in hope that they retaliate or I can claim retaliation if I get pulled over for something trivial.

      A lot of Starbucks are unionized now, and this is usually protected speech give cops are enemies of all workers unions everywhere.

        Yup and it’s another good reason for unions. If you can voice dissent or protest without fear of your livelihood being taken away, the world is a better place for it.
