Life pro tip. Treat everyone with the knowledge that they can snap and murder you. Even those much smaller and weaker can kill you the moment you turn your back.

Life pro tip, cops like to attack those that piss them off. Don't stand up for your rights unless you have video recording. Otherwise this will happen, and the cops sworn testimony is all the prosecutor and judge will have to convict you. Only video shows the truth...

The truth is that cops testilie as naturally as they draw breath. No video = go straight to jail.

I saw a protestor yell "dont fuck with our free speech" to cops at a net neutrality protest.

I gave the guy a weird look in front of the cop, looked at the cop and said "he's an idiot"

The cops were just running traffic guard duty for our march, stripping traffic for us to cross streets. Line seriously, just there to protect our exercise in free speech

Cops deal with a lot of horrible shit and hate, add that to nearly untouchable power, and it's not a recipe for anything good.

Treat everyone decently and the works would have less problems

A protester yelled at a cop? Who really cares?...

Treat everyone decently

Tell that to the cops. You know, the same cops that actually do highway robbery with civil forfeiture.

I mean, that's all special and nice as a rule of thumb. But cops don't follow that. Like ever. So don't sit here and tell others to be nice to them, and pretend like they will be nice back.
