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.

Nah get fucked. Like even when cops are doing sort of reasonable things like a welfare check they've gotta understand they're working in a charged environment. Like ambos will see blood and guts, fireies might get heat exhaustion, and cops are gonna have to expect to hear a few hurtful things and people resisting being confined.

It's just human to, it's especially something people generally disempowered do. Like if you're a billionaire with an army of lawyers it's easy to be composed, but the only justice a homeless guy getting moved on for the crime of existing might get is calling the jackbooted thug doing it a fucking cunt.

Part of life everywhere is understanding that sometimes you see people at their worst and you're gonna have to be understanding, and that's without any of the privilege and power of the cops.
