One of my new friends is/was a cop. Just found out about it. I genuinely believe ACAB, and this news has me conflicted because my new friend seems really cool and super nice. I don’t know him super well yet, though. He’s a big part of this new friend group and I don’t know how to process this and how to deal with the fact he’s a cop.

I don’t want to look past the fact he’s a cop, but I want to stay his friend and stay in this friend group.

Any advice for dealing with this shit?

I can’t talk to my therapist about it until Thursday.

      Ye, following a particular hateful political movement so strictly you approve of murder is absolutely the same as having a particular job.

      Not sure if this is needed, but yes, sarcasm.

      editing your post then pretending I’m making a dumb comment, that’s not something you see every day. Either way, I’m glad to see you change your mind!

        The irony here is killing me… For anyone who scrolled down here, the guy above me is saying that cops are NOT following a particular hateful political movement so strictly that they approve of murder. Read that again. He really doesn’t understand what he just said.

        What was the point of the sarcasm? Did it help your argument or hurt it? I’m asking why it was included because it doesn’t seem to add anything which wasn’t already obvious, exactly like the content of the message
