ACAB.
I don’t care if “not all cops, tho.” They know about this shit, and they don’t do anything about it. They’re supposed to (in theory) prevent illegality, and yet this stuff gets a pass.
It’s no wonder Fundigelicals are bosom buddies, because they do the same thing with religion.
They always say “it’s just a few bad apples” and conveniently forget the point of the analogy is that the bad apples spoil the whole bunch. So until the little piggies remove ALL of the bad apples, ACAB is 100% correct.
Yeah I don’t think it’s that easy. Saying “all in this group are evil” is the same argument used to gas Jews in WWII, it’s a really dumb and short sighted argument.
Yes, there is a LOT of shit going on and a lot of police officers are bad, but that doesn’t mean they all are and just because they’re not doing enough against this, doesn’t mean they don’t care or don’t try or even can try…
With situations like these “it’s not that simple” is a much better statement than acab, which as much fun as it may be to say, is just dumb and short sighted
Not trying to make a point or anything, but it only took one comment for you to bring up a Hitler reference. Isn’t that like loosing the game or something? Means you only have a weak point?
It was that easy for an ex cop to agree that acab in a different comment. They agreed to the point that they said they themselves weren’t even a good cop.
When the cops themselves are agreeing with acab… I mean, believe them.
this one anonymous person on the Internet claiming to be a cop agreed with me!
Yeah, that isn’t exactly an argument. Not all police officers (can we pleeeaaase stop calling them the “cool” sounding “cop”?) are bad, especially outside of the US, but even inside the US you have loads of good guys and gals wanting to make a difference and make the world a better place.
Acab is the exact same behavior as those bad apples. Don’t be like the bastards…
didn’t say they were all evil. said some of them are evil and the rest ignore it.
The first a in acab means all so there is that… Beyond that, I’m sure there are loads that don’t care and ignite it but there are also loads that do care but it simply isn’t that simple. You can’t just go on a lone crusader’s path, burn your career and future to make ymreal meaningful change. It’s not that easy.
I think there are two things that need to happen to get this bullshit under control…first of all defang the police union…you can’t function as a union busting group and get the protection of a union that’s hypocritical bullshit. No more gypsy cops moving from force to force without their sins following them.
Second, a citizen review board that is made up of anonymous citizens called to serve like jury duty. The review board gets to make disciplinary decisions on police misconduct and it’s 100% binding. No more some are more equal than others, or their dumbass “civilian” mind set… they’re civilians too.
Union for me, not for thee.

Only good cop… Well, you found another way: getting out and doing something constructive with your life. 👍

All the more reason we need to #stopcopcity
Police exist to protect the interests of capital owners. Not your constitutional “rights”.
So? The Constitution ONLY matters if I’m using it to defend a School Shooter!
read this, ask yourself “why would police be against body cameras?” and realize that it’s because they think their job entails constantly and knowingly breaking the law.
i love the government so much :)))
Hoping at least ONE undue search warrant that results from this garners a big fat lawsuit
And this is different from how my taxes are spent why?
