There are also countless videos of corrupt cops abusing their power, beating and outright murdering people. They’re supposed to be able to take shit from people. Don’t like it? Don’t be a cop.

Lumping in post office employees and the general public is disingenuous, we’re specifically talking about cops, who have a disproportionate amount of power over citizens.

A cop who likes bad music smh…
