... like a false equivalency at best but lets say for the sake of position they both were just stupid.

The cop SHOULD be held to a higher standard of professionalism, LEO's are not supposed to be thug life and I'm glad she brought his punk ass out even though I deplore the way it was done.

She has first amendment rights, even if they're deplorable, that should not be infringed on as long as she's not breaking any laws.

Screw people who don't want to be civil but the ones who are NOT civil and do such with the protection of a badge are worse.
