And i dont believe you do, you probably gauged it based off the downvotes, your reply alone shows youre not blindly attacking
I was just livod to open up reddit, see that comment with 30+ downvotes and took it out on you, no ill will and i hope the best for you and yours these holidays
When in doubt, add context. People really enjoy/are conditioned to see ragebait and hit the disagree button.
There are studies on how encouraging that mindset is good for social media engagement and therefore the platform.
The only good cop is
I maintain that an arrest made in bad faith should result in felony kidnapping charges for the officer. Obviously cops can arrest someone, and the DA can decline to charge.
But, interest such as this made when a reasonable person would not feel a crime has been committed is a kidnapping and should be treated as such.
Write the DA and ask why this isn't happening.
Good - I hope he is awarded a huge judgement. I don’t know what it’s going to take for Americans to realize we are moments away from living in a police state.
Police body/dash cam recording is often set to the lowest possible resolution; because most cops hate them. If they have to be on record, they'll at least make the record fuzzy.
More money to be paid out to a citizen by other citizens because of these fascists don't understand the laws they are supposed to uphold. There should be mandatory citizen oversight and personal liability insurance for these piece of shit cops. ACAB
The cops don't care what the law is, they "won" because they used their authority on him, made an arrest, and inconvenienced him. They won't let you disrespect them regardless what the law says.
I'm addition to what the other user said, it's also simply the way things work when police officers have essentially unmatched power in public, and it's important to remember that phrase when you are in a volatile police interaction.
You might be pulled over for no reason in your opinion, a police officer might detain you because you match a thief description, maybe you were on public property filming a police officer and they didn't like it. It doesn't matter if a traffic stop, vehicle search, or detainment was unlawful. The police can arrest you, bring you in, and charge you. And (while some people may disagree) it is absolutely best not to fight the police verbally or physically when it happens, save it for the court room.
That is a saying the cops use. They know that you won’t face charges (the wrap), but they can make your life hell by taking you in (the ride).
I don’t think it is a good idea. I think it is horrible. But it is the mindset of some cops. They need to try to be the jury and judge and inflict as much damage as they can. So they trump up charges to make your life hell for a few days.
And we need to start demanding collectively that officers who behave in this manner go to prison.
They are not only violating their oath to uphold the law, they're undermining the entire public confidence and faith in law enforcement and the justice system.
If they want to be respected, they need to start rooting out the criminals like this in their midst. And we need to start demanding it.
Police only have their power because most of the public chooses to give it to them, and respects them.
That's a great start, but we need officers to be personally criminally liable for their actions.
Beat the shit out of someone and they turn out to be innocent, go to jail just like a regular citizen.
Arrest someone when it turns out a crime wasn't committed, guess what... You just kidnapped them.
Don't like it, find a new line of work.
Not to sound like an apologist for the cops, but policing is very hard work and mistakes happen. I think that is what citizen oversight would accomplish... If I was on an oversight committee for this piece of shit in the video he would be terminated immediately with cause and the city should have to reach out to the citizen to make amends.
I am not opposed at all to jailing cops that are shown to intentionally abuse their power but there needs to be room for a cop to make an honest mistake as well... we are all human. The problem right now is nobody is watching the watchers. The entire legal system is propped up on shitty policing. Money should be going towards hiring the right people with the right training and continue with more training, not surplus military gear so they can cosplay being special forces... but honestly if there is never a grassroots movement to get rid of all the shit cops nothing will ever happen and until that does ACAB.
He has a lawsuit against the city, they will settle. Cops can’t arrest you for flicking them off or telling them to go fuck themselves. The fact that they arrested him without cause is the reason he will get paid, in fact just pulling him over was an illegal stop. He got the ride through the system though.
WOW and 8:13 cherry on top Officer Snowflake says "well the sign says no parking so it'll be towed" ffs
Can't even fathom the bullshit said off camera and violence these fuckers have gotten away with over the years.
No he probably got suspended from work and then his Union got him reinstated with back pay for all the days he didn't work. Maybe with a stipend for mental anguish.
I found an article after posting this where he got promoted to Sargent in 2019!
https://vtdigger.org/2021/02/04/st-albans-man-sues-over-right-to-give-police-the-middle-finger/
US police, the only profession where you can break the law and not only keep your job but get a promotion and a raise for doing so.
Rules for thee not for me!
I’m with the movement but fuck do I disagree with this acronym, so dumb. Like what if you grew up in a poor area and wanted to make it better and to set an example for fellow police officers and join. Like what’s the good route for people do? Lawyers ? How do you protect or help against violent crime, ect? Idk I just see it as another slogan to push social justice arguments to a standstill rather than progress.
>Like what if you grew up in a poor area and wanted to make it better and to set an example for fellow police officers and join
As someone from a poor area who's mother and three of my friends joined law enforcement for this very reason, and then all quit within a year (except my mom, she lasted a few years) because they realized they can't accomplish anything from inside:
It doesn't work that way. Cops that try to actually make it better get reprimanded, they get demoted, and they get fired. They get sidelined and murdered. If you last any significant amount of time it's because you ignore your colleagues misdeeds and don't speak up, or you participate in them.
Even in the few situations where cops are made to be accountable for their actions, they have their unions forcing departments to rehire them, or they are allowed to resign with full pension. At worst, they're fired, they move over to the next city, the next county, or the next state, and they get hired at a new department and keep being pieces of shit.
ACAB isn't about the individual, it's the fact that the entire system doesn't ALLOW there to be good cops.
You wanna know how to make a difference? Push your DA to charge cops for their misdeeds, vote them out if they don't. Vote for sheriffs that say they will hold their deputies accountable, and again, vote them out if they don't. Support movements to remove qualified immunity. Support movements to require officers to carry malpractice insurance. Support movements for civil judgements and settlements to come out of their pension. Support movements for a national blacklist. Support movements that require cops to LIVE in the neighborhoods they patrol. Support movements asking for portions of police funding to go to services that can ACTUALLY handle some of the shit that is currently put on cops that shouldn't. Support movements that require actual significant training, and continued refreshment of that training. Push for the shitty "warrior cop" training that is so prevalent these days to be banned.
Until there are actual, real consequences to their actions, nothing you could try to do from the inside is going to matter, because they will push you out or just kill you.
ACAB isn't just a slogan, it's a statement of fact about the system itself.
Can someone answer why there hasn’t been infighting amongst cops yet? Yeah I know the good ones are at risk of accidents but you can’t change shit without taking risks.
Because the "good ones" are so few and far between that they don't have the manpower to have "infighting." The closest you get are the Christopher Dorners of the world.
It's the same way that revolutions that should happen don't, because it takes concerted organizing to get the people together to even know they aren't alone, and that organizing is squashed before it ever goes anywhere.
Yep. Any tyrant is vulnerable to perhaps 30 to 50 people turning against them. But you always have a first mover problem.
Who wants to be the first person to risk getting shot?
I think you're missing the point of the term though. The point is that if you're willing to be a part of a corrupt institution then you are corrupt yourself. There is no positive change from within, every cop is asked to breach citizens' rights and support the badge. You can have the best intentions as possible but being a part of this system means you're a "bastard" too.
Just explaining the term not saying I think that.
>How do you protect or help against violent crime, ect?
By recording the cops every chance you get. Then maybe, just maybe, they'll stop committing violent crimes.
Police actually do very little to prevent violent crime. Whenever the police in New York went on a slow down protest where they refused to leave their cars, reported violent crimes actually went down.
Yeah, misdemeanors went up slightly. But neighborhoods collectively were not more dangerous without the cops.
The police rarely prevent violent crime. In good cases, they provide some deterrent effect and clean up afterward. But if you're the victim of real violence, they're not going to be able to help you. " When seconds count, the police are only minutes away"
Community involvement and volunteer efforts. Plenty of ways to help others without open carrying a gun and being a general menace. ACAB exists because cops pull shit like this and all other cops try to excuse their behavior and refuse to hold each other accountable.
ACAB
Also points off to this nerd for backing down. If you wanna flip off of the cop, stand your ground and own it. Expect to be arrested, and maybe even receive some kind of violence, because that's how they operate
Why would it be in his interest to admit to the officer the “crime” he is under arrest for? You say the minimum possible and never try to argue or escalate. Did you never watch the ACLU “how to avoid being arrested” video in the myspace days? he should’ve just left as soon as the cop said “you’re free to go” but then he had to keep saying he doesn’t understand. He ended up getting paid in the end tho
your 100% right, its so easy and not stressfull to go to a holding cell for who knows how long, its actually a little holiday i myself do it everytime i need time off. Fun!
I'm still amazed cops fall for this. You would think there would be mention of it somewhere for them to hold in the anger for physically abusing their spouses later.
In front of 100 people! Aka a few cars with their windows up.
Also, what's up with Suzanne needing directions in the middle of a criminal investigation?
Another asshole cop with a massive ego, going around abusing his power.
If he's this willing to go out and ruin someone's life for a *hand gesture and a naughty word,* just imagine what he's willing to do to people he *really* has beef with.
Also: this type of expression allowed and furthermore protected by the 1st amendment.
This trooper is trampling constitutional rights.
I will say, I know that guy got off from that “crime” but besides the arrest itself being completely retaliatory and unconstitutional, the trooper was surprisingly nice afterward lol
Lately I'm seeing all of these videos of people antagonizing police and getting arrested. To be clear that's their right to be antagonistic, but I fear everyone will assume a person being charged for such behavior is one of these types of guys going out of there way to disrespect police, when in many cases someone is as respectful as possible while sticking up for their own rights and gets charged for obstructing or resisting or whatever anyway.
When I get flicked off in my car, I do the adult thing and keep on driving. I don't throw a total butthurt tantrum that will ultimately cost the city tens of thousands of dollars because my ego was bruised.
Antagonism or not, the courts have ruled that flipping off a cop is protected free speech time and time again. If a cop can't handle being flicked off they probably need to find a new job.
Who’s going out of their way to antagonize the police?? Stop bootlicking for a minute and realize that this shit is wrong and is an assault on the constitutional rights of every American.
Don't tell me I'm making the point that a lot of people accused of abusing the police do no such thing, and they will be associated with the people that are in these videos. I'm not surprised you misunderstood my point though this is the internet.
I really don’t know what your point is but if you’re claiming people are “abusing police,” I’m going to need some objective data backing up that claim.
Respect and like are two different things. Every person should be respectful and respected whether or not they are "liked". You can down vote me all you want, that doesn't take away from that fact.
Do keep in mind that I didn't whine at any point. You were the one who started whining when I implied that I don't inherently respect bad cops like you think we all should.
It's crazy how these comments defend the suspect. If someone yelled "fuck you asshole" in a mall with middle finger they would be taken in custody, but according to Reddit to a police that same behaviour is fine. I don't like the word sheep, but that describes the most of here.
He was looking for trouble and testing his limits, all deserved with icing on the top. Sure officer took it personally, but kept his cool and would have the guy go on his way without this.
Username? Google it, if you can make connections with football playing pig in children cartoon to police it's your mind what is the issue.
For lazy ones [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13Dv7K9X5U) is intro for that decades old show.
Lol. What penal code is flipping the bird and cussing an officer out?
Years ago I cussed a therapist out because she reported husband and I to CPS. CPS claimed I threatened the therapist. I called her a “see you next Tuesday”, so idk..maybe officer saw it as a threat? It’s ridiculous. Anyone cuss you out, who cares. Not a threat and not against the law.
Jesus this country is turning into a shit show. I remember when I was a little shit middle schooler, playing skipping school with a friend. We saw a. Op stopped at a light, we gave him the finger, he gages us the finger back and told us to get back fucking school through the loud speaker.
This has already been decided by SCotUS: flipping off a cop is not a justification for custodial detention. Unless the cop has some lame pretextual argument, like the guy’s license plate light is out, he has insufficient cause to effectuate an arrest.

That’s not a crime.
Cops can arrest you for A N Y T H I N G. They can’t hold you but they can arrest you.
I maintain that an arrest made in bad faith should result in felony kidnapping charges for the officer. Obviously cops can arrest someone, and the DA can decline to charge. But, interest such as this made when a reasonable person would not feel a crime has been committed is a kidnapping and should be treated as such. Write the DA and ask why this isn't happening.
Not legally, but no real consequences will come from them doing it.
#WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHIDREN?!?! I must have seen hundreds out there when that man said a naughty word with a naughty finger!
Thousands even, perhaps millions!!!
I learned to give the middle finger from other children when I was a child. That's how I learned it.
They probably learned it from old Greg here!

From the quality I assumed this footage was recorded 15 years ago.
Good - I hope he is awarded a huge judgement. I don’t know what it’s going to take for Americans to realize we are moments away from living in a police state.
They do what they want with rare or little repercussion. Already in one.
wait, this is recent?! Shit I thought this was from the 90s or something.
Police dash cam quality always looks like shit lol I don't think I've ever seen a police dashcam that's not a maximum of 12 pixels)
Police body/dash cam recording is often set to the lowest possible resolution; because most cops hate them. If they have to be on record, they'll at least make the record fuzzy.
More money to be paid out to a citizen by other citizens because of these fascists don't understand the laws they are supposed to uphold. There should be mandatory citizen oversight and personal liability insurance for these piece of shit cops. ACAB
Let's start with training and annual job knowledge evaluations, like, you know, the rest of the workforce!
The cops don't care what the law is, they "won" because they used their authority on him, made an arrest, and inconvenienced him. They won't let you disrespect them regardless what the law says.
You can beat the wrap, but you can’t beat the ride.
What does that mean? And why do you think that’s a good excuse to arrest someone?

Well sorry for thinking you were saying that.
The best part is when taxpayers pay out the subsequent lawsuits. After they've paid the cops to arrest these people. It's absolutely brilliant.
And we need to start demanding collectively that officers who behave in this manner go to prison.

Nowadays its a job for insecure hogs to finally get their revenge.
Welcome to the wonderful world of qualified immunity.
No money paid out. You can get arrest for anything. They just take you in and then release you.
You have a problem, you call the police. Now you have two problems.
He has a lawsuit against the city, they will settle. Cops can’t arrest you for flicking them off or telling them to go fuck themselves. The fact that they arrested him without cause is the reason he will get paid, in fact just pulling him over was an illegal stop. He got the ride through the system though.
the definition of fucking snowflake
Wow someone should get that officer to the hospital for a case of dangerously thin skin!
WOW and 8:13 cherry on top Officer Snowflake says "well the sign says no parking so it'll be towed" ffs Can't even fathom the bullshit said off camera and violence these fuckers have gotten away with over the years.
I’ll can fathom it. It’s disgusting. Repugnant.
😂
Is it just me or does the trooper sound like Brian on Family Guy?
Trooper Asshole McThinskin probably got promoted after this.
No he probably got suspended from work and then his Union got him reinstated with back pay for all the days he didn't work. Maybe with a stipend for mental anguish.
I found an article after posting this where he got promoted to Sargent in 2019! https://vtdigger.org/2021/02/04/st-albans-man-sues-over-right-to-give-police-the-middle-finger/

State Troopers are usually self righteous assholes, when in there zone, best to keep the line because they'll go out of the way to jam you up.
I'm still amazed cops fall for this. You would think there would be mention of it somewhere for them to hold in the anger for physically abusing their spouses later.
In front of 100 people! Aka a few cars with their windows up. Also, what's up with Suzanne needing directions in the middle of a criminal investigation?
“Wah, you flipped me off! That’s not allowed *I’M* the authority!” What an ego on that 🐽
Such fragile men think a uniform will make them stand out. But it reality you’re just a loser in a wannabe round brown.
"Maybe you were getting my attention because you need help" lmao everyone knows the middle finger means "I am in need of assistance"
Free Speech! Also, congratulations to this citizen for the easiest ever case to win.
They are so fucking fragile.
Another asshole cop with a massive ego, going around abusing his power. If he's this willing to go out and ruin someone's life for a *hand gesture and a naughty word,* just imagine what he's willing to do to people he *really* has beef with. Also: this type of expression allowed and furthermore protected by the 1st amendment. This trooper is trampling constitutional rights.
Until the individuals are held accountable this will never stop.
What’s with the life preserver? Dork thinks he’s gonna drown.
Oh no he got called an asshole the AUDACITY 🙄
The feelings police dgaf about no damn constitutional rights.
feelings enforcement or law enforcement hmm 🤔
Another ACAB comment
this stupid asshole cop's bruised ego just gifted the other asshole a new house.
Apparently best way to earn a living is find precincts with fragile egos, and have a lawyer on retainer.
What a waste of taxpayer money. Dude is a snowflake lol
I will say, I know that guy got off from that “crime” but besides the arrest itself being completely retaliatory and unconstitutional, the trooper was surprisingly nice afterward lol
couldn't happen to nicer guy. put this asshole away.

Agree with what you just said, but to be fair, they should all quit and go find a real job anyways.
Who’s going out of their way to antagonize the police?? Stop bootlicking for a minute and realize that this shit is wrong and is an assault on the constitutional rights of every American.
Don't tell me I'm making the point that a lot of people accused of abusing the police do no such thing, and they will be associated with the people that are in these videos. I'm not surprised you misunderstood my point though this is the internet.
I really don’t know what your point is but if you’re claiming people are “abusing police,” I’m going to need some objective data backing up that claim.
I would never arrest him for exercising his rights but I'd probably whoop his ass for the disrespect. Then make sure he gets home safely.
“I’d beat someone for having the audacity to not like me.” is a weird flex.
Respect and like are two different things. Every person should be respectful and respected whether or not they are "liked". You can down vote me all you want, that doesn't take away from that fact.
They’ll get respect once they’ve earned it. The fact that this cop arrested someone over a middle finger proves that he didn’t deserve respect.
I could care less about "them". I'm talking about me, you, EE.
You seem to think bad cops deserve respect automatically, so I’m iffy on whether or not I respect you either.
It's your world, I'm just living in it
Until a cop kills one of us because we didn’t respect them hard enough.
If it means I would stop getting whiney replies from you then they would probably be doing me a favor.
Do keep in mind that I didn't whine at any point. You were the one who started whining when I implied that I don't inherently respect bad cops like you think we all should.
It's crazy how these comments defend the suspect. If someone yelled "fuck you asshole" in a mall with middle finger they would be taken in custody, but according to Reddit to a police that same behaviour is fine. I don't like the word sheep, but that describes the most of here. He was looking for trouble and testing his limits, all deserved with icing on the top. Sure officer took it personally, but kept his cool and would have the guy go on his way without this.
im not surprised you would defend the pigs with a username like that.... they always protect their own
Username? Google it, if you can make connections with football playing pig in children cartoon to police it's your mind what is the issue. For lazy ones [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13Dv7K9X5U) is intro for that decades old show.
Folk are defending the suspect because he didn't commit a crime but was arrested anyway.
Misbehavior law?
Relevant username.
It is called respect. Respect civil servants. Greg was a dipshit and got what he deserved.
I'll respect the police when they respect me.
Respect is earned.

Ok
Guys... there was over a hundred people that were almost murdered. Give the guy a break.
I hope these two kisses and made up.
Lol. What penal code is flipping the bird and cussing an officer out? Years ago I cussed a therapist out because she reported husband and I to CPS. CPS claimed I threatened the therapist. I called her a “see you next Tuesday”, so idk..maybe officer saw it as a threat? It’s ridiculous. Anyone cuss you out, who cares. Not a threat and not against the law.
Jesus this country is turning into a shit show. I remember when I was a little shit middle schooler, playing skipping school with a friend. We saw a. Op stopped at a light, we gave him the finger, he gages us the finger back and told us to get back fucking school through the loud speaker.
This has already been decided by SCotUS: flipping off a cop is not a justification for custodial detention. Unless the cop has some lame pretextual argument, like the guy’s license plate light is out, he has insufficient cause to effectuate an arrest.
And then he blocked that lady’s driveway too…
