In urban environments, law enforcement isnât respected because despite having weapons and body armor, they continue to beat citizens and even kill them, hence why theyâre referred to as âpussies in gearâ.
Person A: Why are cops called pigs?
Person B: Because theyâre a bunch of pussies in gear. They wear and carry weapons and body armor, but still beat on defenseless people.
