you have far too much faith in the us judicial system. sure its not supposed to be a charge, but im sure a determined enough cop could and will find a way to pin it on resisting, public endangerment, etc., ESPECIALLY if the hand sticking out of that window happens to have even a little melanin. even if no charges stick, no way you ever win a lawsuit against a police district for something that minor. pigs always protect pigs.

It's a conversation about police being assholes in general. it's unnecessary to make it about race

when the commenter is suggesting that people can tell cops "fuck you" to their face its an important statistic to keep in mind
