I guess you can be whatever you want, but the type of language that you and they use is variously so general and insulting that any type of response should be on the table. For example, do cops participate here? Or people with cops in their families? Yet, we have a person who, in my opinion, seems to struggle with concepts of daily life that is calling them bastards. Is that opinion moderated? If not, are in-kind responses allowed? Or perhaps this forum is institutionally skewed to the poster's juvenile opinion.

This forum is skewed towards capitalists, and cops protect property. Its not a juvenile opinion to point out how power works. Its actually my only hobby on this site. And for people who have cops in their family, its not unknown to me. Its like having family in a gang. Or the mob. They're fine people, you can have dinner and enjoyable conversations. But when the gang comes up in discussion they're gonna protect the colors. The fellow who responded and then blanked their post I think is European, which with no guns and a socialist safety net I might allow have a different flavor than US police, founded as possibly the town watch instead of slave catchers and immigrant beaters. But this is an article about the DEA, ACAB is very appropriate.

    I love a "you people." You're arguing against someone with a "belief system" you seem to know, but I don't know who that is. I've displayed a single preference here, which is anti-police. You can expand that to, I don't like people who wield too much power. I don't like gangs. If I was in a country run by a criminal gang, I wouldn't like them either. If a perfect theocracy arose that imposed moral law perfectly to "protect us poor public," I wouldn't like them either. You won't see many positive positions from me, I don't tend to believe in many positive things. I do believe making a list of the biggest bastards and working against them, in my time. That list changes, and when I eventually die off, there will be more people like me who do the same, with their own lists. I don't think we have any colors except those we prefer ourselves. There's no one running us, there's no one in charge. And I think over time you might be surprised how effective that can be.

Cops are as much bastards as criminals are. In an ideal society both should not exist. Nobody should be given the right to use lethal force against whomever they decide at the time to be necessary and it is totally fine to have this opinion and state it in public.

  I mean, its not totally fine. It's psychotic (divorced from reality) and immature. I grant you that its not against the law. But see the fact that you have to skew the nature of police force in order to fake your point.

    > It's psychotic (divorced from reality) and immature. Would you mind sharing where are you from? There are many countries were the cops are literally criminals, like mine. I would love to be able to have the same innocence as you, treating cops as heroes that risk their lives to protect society.

      Since you are from a country other than the one in which this site originates, and are asking where I am from, maybe first you should post where you are from. If your country did not have cops, who would enforce the laws that are enforced? Would the most powerful gang simply become the new government? Who? Would you prefer pre-civilization to civilization, wherein there are no laws? I well know the dynamics of mafia, and how they relate to the Police. The system is not perfect, but it is the core structure of civilization. We try to limit police power via the law, internal controls, and hiring moral men. Some of that is breaking down everywhere. But its not breaking down via the prescriptions of those who designed the system. Where in your system have the fail safes failed? No judgement, just curious. Does your country have the potential for law and order, or not? Why not? What would you do differently, which is realistic?
