So this conversation is pretty much settled then, huh? We can all agree that your comment was dumb and move on with our nights?

Err....hoping not serious. Probably one of the most common usages is to describe traveling preachers, snake oil salesman and the like - usually white. First image from Google:

This is the first time I’ve heard that. Usually applied to snake oil salesman or people selling monorail systems

psst. The huckster reference was made about his wife.

Also, pick at random a racist, barbed-wire-tattoo-sporting cop in the Orange, San Diego, or Riverside County Sheriff’s Department or the San Diego Police Department and the odds of him living in either Temecula or Murrieta are quite high. Not exactly Whole Foods’ target market, y’know?

He only punched me twice after this photo. Seems nice. (Jk. He’s a god damn disgrace)

Jesus Christ, what an absolute asshole. Way to ruin a night promoting a good cause. I mean seriously, a *store-bought* pie?

Repeated pummeling is not an even approaching reasonable force for retaliating against someone throwing pie in the face of a public official.

More than kind of, but: I think the piece makes the context pretty clear, if accurately reported. Pie was thrown. Then words were spoken. Then Johnson started throwing punches. For the most part neither getting pied nor getting verbally assaulted are considered justifications for starting a fist-fight, and if the…
