The Chronicle's Will Kane, one of the reporters covering last week's BART demonstrations, overheard more or less - the longer quotes in the following aren't verbatim, but approximations of what was said, says Kane - the following exchange:

Angry older male protester to officer: "You cop, you're a pig. You bitch. You're a bitch. That's all."

Angry older female protester to angry older male protester: "Excuse me, sir, can you please not use a derogatory term for females, even when you're insulting a cop."

Angry older male: "Oh, OK. I am sorry. You're right."

African American male cop, at whom the angry older male had been yelling, lifting his shield: "I can assure you, ma'am, that that didn't offend me. I've been called a lot worse."

Angry older female: "Don't talk to me, you pig."

“Tolerance in the Special City”

Didn’t they used to call it “Bad-gag by the Bay?
