Please, please, PLEASE tell me the kid's name is Kurgan.

Not a reply to you.

But you just did!? Two times!!!

ARE YOU BEING SARCASTIC ODDEYE?!? THIS IS A WEBSITE WITH STANDARDS YOU LITTLE BITCH!

I need more context, but it seems like the cop is doing everything to let this kid go, kid throws out the smarm, and cop does nothing. Am I missing something?

Sure, the cop isn't biting his tongue. But he did bite his fists, his cuffs, his tazer, his everything we expect of cop vids these days. He sonned a wise-ass kid, then let him go.

5 for the cop making sure kid knew his name and how it was spelled.

From what I can tell it was a thousand dollar ticket for a non-visible license plate or something. I'd be pissed off too and would probably say something different if it happened to me. In the YT comments he mentions that this was the end of a ten minute conversation, which at least as of right now isn't released, which probably led to the increased fine in the first place.

*****

This is a sitcom waiting to happen.

5 for easy flowing labored analogies. I had a gym teacher who could do that.

If you don't flaunt your power people think you are powerless and when people think the cops are powerless they become criminals. Stuff like this actually make us all safer. Of course no news station will take the side of peace and order, not enough headlines I guess.

Yeah, this kid is totally an asshole for not letting a bully get his way.

Listen bitch, when a cop tells you to do something you FUCKING DO IT. Doesn't matter if it's being quiet or a strangling a tiny robin to death. You don't ask why, you don't say no, YOU FUCKING DO IT.

This is THE REAL WORLD. This isn't your namby-pamby pussy-ass liberal art college anymore, bitch. All those scenarios your little human rights club rehearsed and all those constitutional rights you think you have don't mean SHIT in the real world, bitch. Cops have the complete backing of the state AND the people to light up any skinny that endangers those that they protect and serve WITHOUT QUESTION and by endanger I definitely include being sassy.

Next time a cop tells you to stick 3 fingers into the rectum of a cashier at McDonald's, DON'T THINK, COMPLY.

"Next time a cop tells you to stick 3 fingers into the rectum of a cashier at McDonald's, DON'T THINK, COMPLY."

The half-assed "point" you're trying to make here falls apart because 9,999 times out of 10,000, a cop isn't going to ask you to do anything that outrageous. You can't draw a distinction between "don't smart off to cops" and "SODOMIZE UPON REQUEST!"? We're not robots; there's a thing called "common sense" that tells you where the line is. It's not a matter of, "Well if you DON'T smart off to cops then next thing you know they're gonna be asking you to strangle animals to death!" I assure you, they won't. But if it makes you feel better we can hold off on this debate until the next time you get pulled over and I'll make you a deal: DON'T be a dick to him, and let's see if he asks you to anally rape someone. If he does then I'll admit I was wrong.

It just so happens I was having a Big Mac attack..

Dude, I am completely agreeing with you. If a cop were to tell you to do something LIKE sticking fingers into someone's ass, give them 8 anal probes or perform oral sex then you absolutely SHOULD do it because they are cops. Experiments conducted by Milgram and cases like the Mount Washington "sexually abuse a co-worker cause a phony cop phoned" strip search phone scams have shown that in general people will do whatever the fuck a cop wants and that's a GREAT thing!!

That's why every cop is picked from the most prized of stock and given the ultimate in training so that these awesome powers they wield are used properly. Each American cop is basically a member of SEAL Team 6 when it comes to being fair and righteous.

So, in closing. Just do it.

Personally, I am very respectful of cops. I'll always address them as Officer, and will always try to comply in a respectful manner if I'm being told to do or not do something that is reasonable legally speaking. Most cops are just regular people with a job to do and I'm not going to get all Rage Against the Machine at every interaction I have with them.

That said, I've met some asshole cops in my life who wanted to intimidate me based on the "I AM THE LAW" kind of gravitas they think they have, and who wanted me to follow orders based on absolutely no legal grounds. Cops are not The Law, they are The Law's bitch, and, while maintaining a perfectly respectful tone of voice and language, we are perfectly within our right to remind them of that.

Yeah, saying "God Bless You" is a reason to be arrested.

What, you have notions about human dignity, prosocial behavior, or high standards for government officials? Nobody gives a shit! You're shit, I'm shit, everything is shit, we're helpless infants rolling in shit.

Furthermore, it's good for us! Bending over and taking it when a man with a deadly firearm becomes unhinged over mild sarcasm is the foundation of a fair and just society.

This.

Cops are nice to me, too. I'm a well-spoken, substance-free white male who spends most of his time in a nice oceanside suburb; I have no clue why the one cop I see an average of twice of a month while he's on his way to work doesn't just roll up and shoot me.

I went fishing with a police officer and while he did mention that picnics weren't allowed when I ate a sandwich he didn't beat me to death and I was still invited to his daughters wedding.

I don't see what the fuss is either.

I was never invited to a cop's wedding, but my friend was, and she had this really nice weed that she shared with us at her party the next week, on the condition that nobody smoke it outside. Her other cop friends said we were in an "amnesty zone", and they kept their word.

Also I met this sheriff in the backwoods of Kentucky once. He was really cool; he used to get drunk and let teenagers take his helicopter out for a spin. I think he got fired a few years ago on account of a crash, but I haven't really stayed in contact with anyone down there.

People who have had good experiences with cops: are you all white?

Not actually being sarcastic, I've seen first hand the difference in how police treat minorities vs white people.
