    There have been actual court cases solidifying that you can use the middle finger to a police officer. This is a slam dunk for the woman man.

      Fuck that trooper

      The man said, his finger making the maneuver

      “I’m a fragile loser”

      The trooper said, grasping his belt in a stupor.

      “Fuck off, I said!” The man bellowed

      The trooper approached, his attitude not mellowed

      “You’re being obtuse and you’re under arrest”

      The shallow policeman said, clearly unimpressed

      “What can we do to stop this?”

      The Internet forums queried

      “It’s never going to change”

      The other users answered, wearied

          Arresting someone for exercising their freedom of expression is a pretty asshole move

            oh definitely, i am beginning to realize I may not have expressed myself very clearly

            the man was acting like an asshole, but was then stopped and arrested for said assholery. That is not assholery on the cops part, that’s something far, far worse, which i figured was a given in the circumstances.
