If he picked up 5 cups of coffee from starbucks, he most likely ordered through the mobile app.

Which would mean he set his own name to Pig for his mobile order. If he ordered at the register you’re telling me they looked the cop in the eyeballs and typed pig into the order prompt?

This sounds like bullshit

Not a SB customer: why "most likely" used an app?

[-] candybrie@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You can't call in an order. So if they use "picked up" to mean went and picked up an already placed order, it had to be through the app. Plus it's just way easier to order through the app for multiple people at somewhere like Starbucks (i.e. a place no one just gets a plain coffee from).

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

You can't order ahead at Starbucks without using the app.

This little piggy went to Starbucks

I wouldn't be surprised if the cops put in the order ahead of time with PIG as the name. Good 'ol manufacturered outrage.

Wouldn't be the first time.

If they want to advertise the idea that hatred of police is becoming normalized they are essentially doing the abolition movement's job for them.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 68 points 2 weeks ago

The only people I've seen casually start shit with cops are the ones who know they can access a lawyer.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

As a person who lives one town over from there. I too salute those brave workers. But at same time I wouldn't doubt it if the cops faled this for outrage. And fuck Mark Allen GMC and his back the blue banner.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Well that makes sense both practically and morally.

Folks in positions of privilege (e.g. means and access to good lawyers) should use said position to fight for more justice.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

People of privilege pissing off cops means that cops will be twice as nasty to the poor folks who can't get away with it.

So rich people treating cops like garbage isn't moral at all.

brilliant logic

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

As brilliant as a spit shine on a thousand boots

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

The only people I’ve seen casually start shit with cops are the ones who know they can access a lawyer.

It's easy to be brave when you know you aren't going to get beaten up.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's why they should just obey?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

You assert your rights in the courtroom, not the streets.

If you feel a deep need to get your ass kicked go right ahead.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pussy

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

What? Are you in 3rd Grade?

Reported and blocked.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Same, bootlicking.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

So, you think you want to be the guy driving a junker with a busted tail light after some rich twit in a Tesla has talked shit to the cop?

Yes, I'm sure the cop will feel chastised

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

yes then the rich guy would be responsible for the cop's actions

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

So we agree. The rich guy has no right to talk shit when he knows he's safe and other people aren't.

If the rich guy wants to pay for lawyers for people hassled by cops he could show how he feels.

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah cops are animals that can't take responsibility for emotional regulation

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Starting shit with the cops never ends well. Just a tip from someone who got roughed up by the cops in TX for having long hair as a male and NOT having any dope. They searched us all and our VW bus thinking they'd fill their quota of felony arrests and we were clean as a whistle. We hadn't even been drinking. So they took it out on us. FTP.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly. You assert your rights in the courtroom, not in the streets.

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I do it to our local PD on Facebook in hope that they retaliate or I can claim retaliation if I get pulled over for something trivial.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If you don't get shot.

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Seems like I win either way

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 47 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck tha Police

"It stood for 'Put In Group', sorry for your misunderstanding.

cough Pigs cough"

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

It's Starbucks, their lives aren't over if they get fired.

[-] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

More likely an improvement...

[-] basmatii@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

A lot of Starbucks are unionized now, and this is usually protected speech give cops are enemies of all workers unions everywhere.

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yup and it's another good reason for unions. If you can voice dissent or protest without fear of your livelihood being taken away, the world is a better place for it.
