So, I went to the bad place at the bad place, and the cops there were totally meme-ing on the event and seemed to agree he was an idiot and shouldn't be a cop. That was a pleasant surprise, I'll admit.

I also saw a bit of defending his "perception" of what was happening though. It's weird that they forget perception is subjective when the person isn't wearing a uniform though. :shrug:

Stole a couple of the memes with absolutely no guilt about it though.
