“Hay, that’s quite a coincidence, my name is Screw You, maybe we’re related!”

Did you know, in practically any other profession (I know certainly in mine) you’d be immediately fired for this kind of infraction?

Police are given way too many privileges.

I have cousins who married into the Fuck Yous.

To be fair, everybody who is anybody around there comes from a family who married into the Fuck Yous (or the Fuck You, Melon Head! cadet branch of the family) a long time ago.

On a more serious note i certainly hope the officer involved in this doesn’t just get a slap on the wrist for this behavior.

Man, if any of my employees acted like this while on the job, I would trap them in sensitivity training until they voluntarily quit.

Were it not for the camera rolling, I suspect Dizzy Dez would have suffered severed injuries for “resisting.”

My guess is that they just didn’t know how to end it. My suggestion might be at the end when they’re both angrily telling at each other have a 3rd person yell at the two and have the whole thing start over again on the insults and end the video there :stuck_out_tongue:

This is why I refuse to give my information to police officers even if I’m %100 innocent of the infraction that is being discussed with them. Showing them my ID might end in a “You’re all set” instead of lengthy conversation (white male privilege) but what really irks me is the “papers, please” attitude creeping into our society.

Not all cops are bad. The lib-lib town I live in has the best and most respectful officers IMHO. My favorite officer on the force is the animal control specialist. She saved an owl from a chimney and sent out pics to the town one time!

So if you were to meet this officer on the street, and call out to him, “Hey, F**k You.”, that would be totally appropriate and he would be cool with that, probably responding with “Why yes, how can I assist you?” Right?

My response would absolutely be to play some Rage Against The Machine. “Well then, Fuck You, I won’t do what ya tell me!”

Every time I see a thin blue line flag I spit on the car.

This is of course the anglicized version given them at Ellis Island. Originally it included a rude hand gesture.

Came here to make the (approximately) the same comment. Driving away because he realizes he’s too angry and/or scared to rationally do the right thing is a huge improvement over what often seems to happen in so many of these encounters between police and citizens.
