security guard called me a "bigot" for disrespecting his weapon in particular, and this would have just been an amusing window into rent-a-cop-brain until a random neighborhood guy passed by and took the security guard's side, making it instead a bleak commentary on the whole local environment.

@scanlime reminds me of a video i saw recently, an 11 yo girl prank called 911 and the police came to her house, hounded her into a filmed confession with no lawyer present, took her away in handcuffs and imprisoned her for a week. Her parents stood by and allowed this all to happen
Sadly typical "only in America" bullshit but the comment section was FULL of people praising the parents for "teaching her an important lesson" and applauding this "well deserved" response. You had to really dig to find anyone questioning whether arresting an 11 year old was really a proportionate and justified response
@fraggle holy fuck, that's really bleak :(
@fraggle i really need to find some local peeps who aren't like this
@90sScriptKiddiw he got the whole thing on bodycam, maybe it'll end up on some awful tiktok channel
@scanlime deference to authority by default is a real thing and a big chunk of the population seems to have that mindset. It's disgusting really how many people are swayed to take someone's side by something as simple as the fact that they're wearing a uniform
