Sure, because that schoolboy flipping off the officer was obviously a punk gangster Al-Qaeda sleeper agent suicide bomber.

  There are nice schoolboys and there are hardened dropouts too, what's your point? And I dint bring up schoolboys. You're injecting that where I didn't mention that. All I'm saying is that public servants of all kinds face daily indignities. They may deserve some of it, other times it's people being jerks --but pubic servants don't face one or two antagonistic people a week, they can face many, depending on their post. And the point is no one should have face a daily dose of expletives directed at them. They face that, but they should not. Now granted, we have a right to express ourselves. My point is in any other job, this behavior would become unwelcome and would have consequences on the offender in the form of up to civil or criminal charges (sexual harassment, for example). This work hazard is a bit unique to public servants and it's constant and that will take a toll on the affected's psyche, like if or not. Just because they get paid with public funds does not make them magically immune to human weaknesses.
