The police (in the US) have a long history of protecting their own, and punishing anybody who does speak up, even in the face of what would otherwise be compelling evidence of illegal behavior.
ACAB might be a bit hyperbolic, but the sentiment (that policing in the US is fundamentally broken) isn’t off base.
- Charlie_26 3y agoNot getting that sentiment from a slogan that says all cops are bastards. If “policing is fundamentally broken” is the statement then use that
- alistairSH 3y agoFair. ACAB is kind of the asshole's version of "Defund the Police" (which is also problematic, as the "pro-police" side jumps straight to "defund and disband all policing", which also isn't what most people mean). Nuance doesn't work very well on Twitter (or online in general).
