Not sure if this cross-posted correctly or not, but come join us at !acab@quokk.au if you want an anti-police community that's not moderated by the notorious JordanLund! 😊

Oh, so now the tolerant left hates an equitable workplace? /s

It's okay to say they're better off dead, this is what they do to Fred Hampton's grave.

For fuck's sake was killing him not enough?
I know it wasn't, and it won't be for them either.

Dr. Seuss got kinda dark in the later days

I very much disagree, but I also don't live in the USA. I think this is USA-specific. I hope.

German cops can be bastards as well, but at least they won't "accidentally" shoot you.

I'm Australian so... ¯(ツ)/¯

The UK police has me pretty freaked out lately too.

Honest question, what is acab about? Because in my mind you need someone to upkeep the law otherwise how do you deal with criminals? I'm probably just naive I suppose.

A good cop wouldn't tolerate the kind of systemic abuse you see in the states, and as a result, would be fired as the institution protects the abusers. All thats left is bastards

I don’t want to imply that older systems were superior, just wanted to point out historical alternatives. Saying this beforehand because I noticed that the way I talk makes people think I’m endorsing stuff I’m not.
For most of human history there was no such thing as an institutionalized state police force, and yet law and order existed for millennia. To over simplify, you would have multiple powers that would try to mediate (or fight). As an example, in medieval Europe you’d have a local lord, guilds and the church, all with some form of guards to represent their interests. And you as an individual would likely belong to such a community. Also specifically the church would go out of its way to mediate problems of other people and prevent issues before they arise, both as community building and power projection (obviously).
The police of today are mainly here to protect property and maintain the status quo, they try to act like mediators, but in such conflicts they mainly come to pacify you so someone else can handle you. Personally my main issue is that we pretend like they’re much more than a civil suppression force. Like for some reason cops are still the main way states handle suicidal people, like jesus christ…

Police officers are frequently held to lower standards and allowed to commit abuses with impunity; any police officer who joins that system and isn't dedicated to police reform is just an agent of the system who should be assumed to be okay with the abuses.

If it's a crime against property? Hell yeah, you're damn right I'm a fan. If it's a crime against a person? There are other ways of preventing that than a police force, which were originally created to protect property.

Shut up fascist.

our president is a felon, you show some respect.

So a good cop should quit instead of turning in the bad cops? Which would effectively just be ignoring the problem and solve nothing.
-
if the good cops were going to turn int he bad cops you would have heard about it by now.

Dude this happened in a big way in southern California like twelve years ago. Was all over the news. He got like five of them.

I actually agree. We need more good cops like Chris Dorner or the problem will never be solved.

They are all black lol. :3

Shouldn't a "gay cop" be much kinkier?

😐

Shouldn't a "straight cop" be beating his wife?

LPT: good cops are actually hired every year, in a specific date. Bastards in the other days.
That date is the 30th of February, by the way.
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half!
Wait wasn't there a year where they had to add two leap days or was that two leap seconds
No such thing as far as I know.
