    He probably got charged because he pissed off a cop. Maybe try not cursing at them while they are trying to break up a fight that you are not even a part of.

      Nah.

      How about cops stop being such pieces of shit instead?

        The ones that want the job for the power are pieces of shit. It’s best to not draw their attention to you for no reason.

      “Just give up your right to free speech because cops can’t be trusted to respect your constitutional rights” is practical advice, but it’s not exactly saying anything good about cops.

        Also, if you don’t exercise your rights, it’s functionally like you don’t have those rights at all

      Fuck off, I’m allowed to say what I want and fucking contempt of cop is not actually a law anywhere.

      Cops should not have a pass but this law is beyond fucking stupid and clearly only put into place because the tough right wing are clearly special snow flakes that cannot anything they don’t agree with.

      I actually just realized the right is always calling the left “snowflakes and weak” when the left is offended by the rights desire to force their morals on us. In reality the left does what the right is refusing to do, be tolerant.

      Turns out every accusation is really an admission from the right.

        There’s no law saying you can’t curse at a cop, but the cop decided to charge they guy for breaking some old, obscure law from the 1950’s that would not normally have been enforced.

          Or it was manufactured outrage regardless…police should have thicker skin and better de-escalation training. If someone wants to wear a mask they should be allowed to wear a mask regardless of if it’s because they’re Muslim or they’re worried about viruses or they’ve got a hairless they don’t want to show people it ain’t anybody’s business who cares.

          You do know that there is literally nothing a black person in South Carolina can do to stop a cop from arresting or attacking them if they feel like it, right? They can be sitting on a park bench reading a book and a cop will find a reason to abuse them because the South is filled with racist cops.

          There’s a reason why “driving while black” is a phrase all over the country, but in the South it’s especially true.

      Why the fuck are you defending cops persecuting people for swearing at them?

        I am absolutely not defending them. The cop should have acted professionally and ignored what this guy said. Unfortunately, this is what tends to happen in the US. The cops here can usually get away with anything including murder with nothing more than some paid suspension as a punishment.

      Oh no! How dare he fucking swear at a cop?! Clearly, this fucking shit could not be allowed to fucking stand.

      How about the cop grow the fuck up and not go off on a fucking immature power trip just because a teenager swore at him?

      Fuck that pig.

      How do you say that and not get upset at the cop for clear abuse of power in that hypothetical? The cop is older, has training
