If it is illegal to flip a cop, then surely a warning would get it sorted. It would appear he was unaware that the idiot who tried to force him off the road was a cop.
When locals are given incredibly light sentences or released for a gang rape a few months back, jail and deportation seem a bit extreme for a gesture.
But hey, it is their sandpit, so they get to choose who plays in it and how. I hope they like playing in it on their own, when all their toys are broken and noone can fix them.
