whenever I watch shit like this I get an impulse to literally repeat back the shit they're saying.

"I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened

"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir,"

"Don't make a bad decision,"

"I will arrest you!"

"This is your warning!"

    Can confirm. It's fucking hilarious and requires almost no brain power, a big plus in a stressful situation.

    I mean, I don't think it's funny. it's an impulse toward equality: your fucking uniform doesn't make you better than me.

    it puts my back up when people weild authority like this. I don't need to be policed.

    idk. I'm just pissed off now imagining someone talking to me like that.

    Totally understandable, and I apologize if my comment felt like I was inappropriately making light of your opinion or feelings, or the situation. 100% not my intent.

    My comment was based on how easily "authority" figures are emotionally escalated by doing to them exactly what they're doing to others. The hypocrisy is mostly sad, but to me also quite funny - laughing at and getting others to laugh at bullies is my go-to method for dealing with them. It's also why my nose veers off to one side: I was in a lot of fights when I was younger.
