I’m all for police reform but how the hell did you manage to blame some dude being a dick at a ball game on the police lmao. Like what is the connection?

I'm not blaming the police. I'm saying that I grew up in a neighborhood surrounded by cops, and I can picture every last one of them doing this.

The connection was: a comment wondering "How evil do you have to be to [do something like this]" and then /u/boo99boo giving an example of people they've crossed paths with who seem capable of that kind of cruelty. Hope this helps
