Flipping Off Cops is Completely Legal

"A motorist cannot be stopped for "giving the finger" to a police officer, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

In a lawsuit against two police officers, the court held the insulting gesture did not constitute "reasonable suspicion that criminal activity or a traffic violation was afoot."*

Motorists can flip off cops and be completely protected legally. Though, maybe it's still not advisable. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) break it down.

I was walking across the street one day and I noticed on the corner of the street, two guys in suits in a parked car staring me down. It annoyed me so I flipped them off and kept walking. Turns out they were detectives and they pulled down the street I was on, jumped out of their car and started harassing me. They thought I was on drugs and they kept asking me if I was high. I'm lucky I'm white because after they ran my name they let me go. Fucking cops.

Youtube is a global corporation, the internet is free and for everyone, Americans don't like being told to butt out of English forums either.

Secondly, you only try to occupy impoverished countries with the aid of other western nations. You flex your military muscle (same as Britain, Germany, Russia, China) to bully smaller, poorer, less militarised countries into doing things your way. That certainly not something you should be proud of.

Do you know how many police say "fuck you" "screw you" and push citizens around? a lot more than you probably think.

Alive and well, very aware, brilliant,and successful children. I didnt condition them with nonsense like the cops and public curriculum. They have no fear of these institutes and dont need them from cradle to grave as you have all your life. You put your self on a little time out in your little corner of that world you love living in. When all you neanderthals decide to get with it, its gonna be too late because by that time you would have already destroyed yourselves.Live by the 2ndAmendment.
