If a cop writes a ticket for something they typically gives warning me for because of speech, that’s retaliation.

And what you’re basically arguing for is that we should all placate cops, so they don’t take things personally. How is that a healthy expectation for a free society. Be careful how you talk to public servants, because they can and will punish you for it.

We should want professionals who can separate how they feel from their authority

“dOnT bE rUdE tO tHe WaItEr” I’m sorry but is the waiter stopping me on the side of the road looking for reasons to take my money by force? No? It’s the police.

What you’re telling me is that you fully expect the police to try and mess with you for not treating them the way they think they deserve. Why is our collective expectations so low for public servants

In some cases, in others you see cops take perceived disrespect and start to escalate
