    I don’t disagree. It’s just also stupid to assume that the cop you flip off WON’T flip out. For all the “all cops are bad” messaging that’s going around, you’d think one would want to play it safe. Two things can be true at once: the cop absolutely escalated this beyond what was called for, and the victim was stupid to instigate anything in the first place.
