I was drunk and I turned around and he's just standing there and idk I just went blank. Called him pig a bunch, someone told me to stop and I did, but wowee.

Feel bad that I definitely made some people uncomfortable, but I mean who the fuck shows up the bar like that.

I'll find out if I got myself banned in a couple days. Would be a shame, was making friends there. But if I got banned for telling a cop to eat shit then I guess that's cooler than being a regular nuisance.

For context I'm in a large American city that has seen some shit, so it might be fine after an apology to some of the people that had to listen to it. The bartender thought it was funny

He whined that "see I can't even go out without being harassed" to the table he was standing at which was the only thing about it im proud of. In general, I need to keep my cool better

he was legit just there in full gear to get drunk? lotta places that's illegal or against policy. Pig just wanted fuckin brownie points but sympathy points are almost as good I guess. Fuck that. You did good, would have been even better if you were coolheaded and sober I'm sure

No idea if his plan was to get drunk, I just know he rolled up in full gear at 11:30 pm and everyone else there was drunk.

There was some table he was chatting to, some friends or something, people that aren't usually at the place.

Context, I did leave after being told by a friend to chill. I went outside, took some air, realized I can't be cool in this situation, and dipped, but the damage was done. No idea how long he stayed or what was said afterwards

I mean that he wasn't there doing his job tbh but drinking does ofc make it worse. Just looked up a random east coast city and the policy there is that officers aren't even allowed to "socialize in an alcoholic beverage establishment" in "full or partial uniform" while off duty, with heavier penalties for actually being intoxicated in uniform off duty. Could probably get him in trouble for that lol, but with how pigs are it probably isn't worth it

i just checked it in my city, it's those exact same words so probably the same city lol

I think it's standard wording cause I'm looking things up.here and it's the same.

I know the feeling comrade, I couldn't hold myself back when some settlers counterprotesters showed up to a local action against the ongoing genocide

I got really mad, called them nazis and said some other shit before being scolded by the little old lady standing next to me and feeling embarrassed for losing my cool

At least those losers haven't shown up for the last few weeks

Cops are not unlike skinheads and Nazis. Full stop. But also, once they start showing up and you don't stop them then more just keep coming and ruin the fucking place. Seen a bar go cop bar before, maybe that had a hand in my reaction

Good.

Okay, but Zelda memes aside, this does put a smile on my face behind my laptop as I type all this.

Honestly, I wish I had your gumption. And hey, even drunk, you probably still held those beliefs, imho.

[-] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

I wish it was more gumption than simple fight or flight lol.

Fair, fair.

Either way, it fucking happened, it's history now, and we can all look fondly on the fact that a cop experienced that and (presumably) gets shit like that done to him every now and then (judging by what they said).
