> If you curse out a cop, you're probably up to no good

I just want to point out that this is an overwhelmingly class-based statement. If you are materially comfortable, especially if you're white, you would likely never have the slightest reason to curse at the police. If you are constantly seeing friends harassed and detained without cause, shot and killed, or experiencing it yourself (as at least a few of the folks in this article seemed to experience it), you might think a little differently. It's easy to make the fallacious argument that "anyone mixed up with the police was up to do good in the first place" when you live in a relatively affluent area, when you are not perceived as a "dangerous minority", etc.
