I work in infrastructure construction in a fairly big midwestern city. Sometimes we work in the road which sometimes facilitates having a cop come out and sit in his car with the lights on. Well the guy we’ve got right now is very chatty. Apparently the metropolitan police dept is damn near setting up a task force to catch a man with a sticker on his car that says, “I ❤️DEAD COPS”, and antagonizing police officers. But has not broken any laws. My traffic cops boss came out and is compiling body cam footage of every cops interaction with this guy. Trying to figure out if he’s broken laws or find a way to arrest him.
This is what we pay for in America. I am paying for what is essentially a small task force to catch a guy who is mildly bullying police officers but not breaking any laws. They are literally so fragile… that they are spending time, money, and energy to build a case to arrest a man with a sticker. Who pulls up too close to the backs of their cars, and tells them to fuck off. How fucking embarrassing.
So if you’re that guy, and you’re on this site… your shits based, keep bullying the little piglets. But be careful.
You should drop an anonymous tip to the new york times, cnn, etc. Just a few media outlets. They'd probably love to report on this. Good topic for getting clicks. They have options for contacting via signal and matrix, I think. Oh, and ProPublica, which is actually great!
Seconded. @necrocop , if you're willing to send me a DM with more info and or sit for a text interview, I can try to get this in front of reporters. If your city is somewhere near me I may even be able to cover it myself.
