I don’t get it. Is this picture designed to elicit some sort of reaction or response?

Flipping the bird and presumably posting it to your social media profile isn't inappropriate behavior for an on-duty NYPD officer? The picture was featured in the article with no caption, so one can only assume how they found it of her...

Of course it isn’t. At least not to the bootlicking fascists that brigade this sub on a daily basis.

Personally, it elicited an interesting sense of amusement and awe at the layers of stupidity within it: car selfie, flipping off camera, dressed in work uniform, the work uniform is a police officer (designed to uphold common decency in society via law enforcement), deciding to take the picture, sharing it with others or being careless in a way that it is now publicly viewed on the internet.

It is forsure an interesting cultural artifact

I wouldn’t say it’s that deep.

Was it inappropriate and perhaps a little shortsighted? Sure. Is it something so reprehensible it deserves to follow her for the rest of her life? No.

Sure I was being somewhat facetious. Though if I was caught at my job doing something like this, I’d be fired. It’s interesting that there’s a difference, along with all the observations above etc.

Luckily police unions aren’t real unions. Unions are organizations of workers, and cops aren’t workers.
