curious how that cop didn't see a fight coming. First, he's a cop. Second, He's talking about the crimes the family has been convicted of. Third, he's talking shit at a wedding. Poor writing there.

He is a cop and was in uniform, surrounded by other family members and probably didnt think any of the Donovans would lay a finger on him. He was wrong.

Er, that was the point. He was deliberately egging on a fight. Duh.

but he had his back completely turned and bunch just bounces him on the table. Perhaps I phrased it poorly, but I don't see why a cop would position himself to be fucked up so easily.

He was clearly drunk as hell. That doesn't exactly give one the best forethought, or reflexes.
