    I think you may have intended your comment as a top-level one rather than a reply to mine. But in case there’s any confusion, there isn’t a single thing about my comment above that suggests anyone should be “disrespectful” to police or anyone else.

    Nor was disrespect at issue in article I linked. A guy demanded an attorney, as he was permitted to do under the US Constitution; he was denied that right; and a Louisiana Supreme Court justice articulated a frivolous reason for excusing that denial. Even if he had been disrespectful (and there’s no indication he was), that should not be acceptable.

    Some hypothetical about individual disrespect has no bearing on a systemic abuse like that. Which is why I assume you didn’t mean your comment as a reply to mine.

        Comment OP meant it more like “dawg” like “Yo dawg, wassap?” But made a joke about “lawyer, dawg” and “lawyer dog”. :)

            “Disrespectful” is absolutely the wrong word. I don’t owe cops shit. Certainly not respect.

            I act mature around them for my own benefit, not to satiate their need for “respect”. What the average person gives cops isn’t respect, its fear. I respect cops the way I respect guns, treat them poorly and shit you don’t want will happen. That speaks far far less of police officers than it ever rightly should.

            Fuck the police, I want to speak with an attorney.
