Cops now interpret respect as bowing and scraping. Too much talking about what heroes they all are. They believe it and expect to be treated like little gods. I bet there were no penalties for their perjury, were there? (And I’m an old, very white woman.)

I hate to be that guy, but if he didn’t assault his gf and run from the cops they wouldn’t have “needed” to deploy spike strips in a high-speed chase.

Uh...no. Fuck that guy and fuck you for defending him.
