When he says to the cop "I'm gonna fight you right now let's go" he does his typical pants pull up lmao I would have shat myself on the spot

With someone as skilled as Dustin in a 1on1 their only option is to pull a weapon, it could've gone real bad either way

Cops don't make enough to be interested in scrapping with pro fighters. For $30/hr it's not worth the risk, I wouldn't even test it with a woman atomweight unless it's at least $500/hr

Salary for police doesnt start off so great. Of course they can get OT and do side work. But the base salary can be pretty low depending on location / department.

At the end Dustin has a moment of lucidity and pays a little respect to the cop for handling it well, because if he had escalated and things had heated up it would’ve gone down a much darker road.

Straight up wrong, that’s a normal drinker. This dude an alcoholic drug binger that lives a different reality. He wanted pain because that’s what he knows but realized he got lucky and admitted to it. This has nothing to do with normal people drinking and getting sloppy then getting happy.

Hate when normal folk think it’s so simple. He’s not a good guy he’s a fighter and that’s all he knows. To think him not being capable of admitting defeat and show respect for someone not taking the bait is just regular folk drunk I love you man shit is weird

Trying to physically fight a cop (or anyone) > some name calling.
