I think one can interpret this meme as playing into the stereotype of protesters as violent thugs, especially with how the cop is drawn as another animal person who looks like they're being abused.
i gave you a link to the full video, which i think you will enjoy. i am an ethical relativist, so i believe context is the most important thing in any ethical dilemma. however, i also am a nonviolent non-pacifist with a natural distrust and hate of authority. therefore, i am a biased observer.
