    I think I just found out I can reverse my entire life’s footprint if I can manage to blow smoke in one billionaire’s face.

      Probably two lives, given their security will likely shoot you in the face.

      ACAB.

          Well they both use the threat of violence to reinforce the status quo. So in my mind they are effectively the same.

            I feel like that’s missing the point of ACAB.

            The problem with cops is that there are good cops who generally behave well and genuinely want to serve and protect their communities. The reason they’re still bastards is because of the unions that they keep (and support). They have some bad apples, and not removing them from the bunch means the bunch gets spoiled.

              The problem with cops is that there are good cops who generally behave well and genuinely want to serve and protect their communities do not report bad cops.

              They are law enforcement, enforce the law. No exceptions.

                Yes, I agree completely. I was just explaining that it’s not ACAB because literally all cops are out there getting away with extrajudicial beatings. It’s ACAB because they don’t throw out the bad apples (aka. don’t report bad cops)
