Sure. But it still just hurts your main argument.
- worik 6y agoNo it does not. Ask George Floyd... Oh wait, you cannot. "Pig" is a pejorative term, I used it in connection with the violence, bigotry, prejudice, adn stupidity (forgot to mention that), the raping, the framing.... I did not use it as a replacement for "peace officer". I know what I said and I meant it
- EdwardDiego 6y agoSo, you were only calling police officers "pig" selectively?
- serf 6y ago>I did not use it as a replacement for "peace officer". I know what I said and I meant it That seems to be quite clearly the intent. Anecdotally around my region people refer to corrupt police officers as pigs, so when someone says something derogatory about 'pigs', it's colloquially understood as "the violent bad ones that extort and over-step, not the ones that help you find your dog."
- EdwardDiego 6y agoAround my region, people who yell "pigs" at the cops, haven't stopped to ascertain whether or not the officers they're yelling at are the violent bad ones who overstep. They're just yelling "pigs" because they're wearing the uniform and driving the car. Noting that I left out extort because that's incredibly rare here, and prosecuted very quickly if it ever does.
