This kind of hamfisted snark tends to make people take the actual and justified criticism of police less seriously.

If people were willing to take it seriously in the first place, then they wouldn't view it as "hamfisted snark"

		I consider myself someone who takes it seriously, and have spent time and resources fighting for change. But it’s wholly unrelated to this particular thread, phenomenon, and story. So having a little “ha ha” moment accomplishes nothing towards the actual cause. It makes people uncomfortable, but not the useful kind of uncomfortable. That said, maybe we just disagree on how to drive change, and that’s fine. I’ll leave it.

It could be a taxi driver if you like. Or an anarchist passing by on xir way to a protest.
