The racial slur Matildas superstar Sam Kerr is alleged to have used against a British police officer was “stupid white bastard”, according to sources with knowledge of the case.

I feel that yes, everyone should respect the position of a police officer

lol fuck that. Police should be treated with respect once they start acting with respect as a collective.

But yeah, everything else you said was spot on. Honestly I feel like the fact that it's all correct is just more good evidence of how wrong that quoted bit is. An individual worthy of respect would not have pushed this complaint forward, and an institution worthy of respect would not have let it get to the point of actual charges in court.
