    To get 10 people to beat the s--- out of them with nightsticks??? lol of course not. As I said cops need to have more composure than that even if the words actually are hurtful to them.

    Even then, you're comparing someone insulting a cop because of their race for...what reason? to someone standing on a cop car in protest of innocent people getting murdered by the police.

    I’m pretty sure calling someone a racist slur is illegal. Being mean to a cop and calling him a pig is not.

    Generally insulting people here it's illegal. You can get sued.

    So we pretty much agree, but my point only was the response is expected when you are provoking people on purpose.

    Yes, but we are trying to shift the conversation from "well that's to be expected" to "why are cops allowed to do this?" cuz the former mindset passes the blame to the person who was beaten up by the cops instead of asking a larger more important question about society.

    I’m not trying to sound like a dickhead when I say this because generally I like discussing s--- with you on here, but it’s just hard for you to understand things in American culture as a person not from here. You’re looking at things through a lens of your country, and things are a bit more f----- up here when it comes to race and police due to our long history of racism.

    edit: and I know this post sounds super f---ing pretentious and I hate it.

    Yeah, but when you know the response why provoke them while protesting. Looting and provoking cops on purpose isn't gonna get you support from general public. That's just my opinion.

    an interesting thing is how in discussions like this, people always say “the general public” to mean “me”

    Yeah there is no racial tensions here since we are pretty much homogenous since the war. My point isn't it though. I mainly pointed to people getting baited by provocations into responding. I would understand people getting angry about being called a racial slur/insulted no matter what their profession is. I get what BC is saying about COPS needing to be more resistant to provocations, but after all we are all just humans and sometimes people break. I don't say it's right though and I don't condone the reaction.
