I'm on the "it's all until it's regular practice for cops to arrest their peers and leaders for breaking laws" side. Like, yeah, there are probably some who want to "change the system" or are "just keeping their head down and providing for their community" which are both noble aspirations.. but they need full scale follow through or it's just copwashing.
How ACAB works (for nerds):
public abstract class Bastard {}
private interface DictatorshipOfTheBourgeoisie {}
private class Cop extends Bastard implements DictatorshipOfTheBourgeoisie {}
I can’t determine if the picture being various shades of gray was intentional or not.
The way I’ve argued it is that not all people who work as police are bastards. Some may be good people outside of work. The moment they put on that badge and willfully become part of an oppressive system, they are bastards.
Yeah. It’s got holes-a-plenty, but it brings people into the conversation without throwing a totally blanket statement.
Not speaking up or pushing against policies and such that target specific groups of people because that's the way we've always done it makes you a bastard still. We all know there's probably one or two good cops per department/precinct that truly wish and do help people when they can. But they're silenced for the sake of their job speaking out against the mistreatments and policies.
Same here. You don’t really get flexibility, if the law says it’s illegal to be Jewish or whatever, as a LEO you have to enforce that law regardless of your personal belief. You become the armed grunt for that system. Same with those who join the military.
I need context
Where is that video of the Chinese cop tearing milk company managers a new one for calling the police in response to workers staging a sit in as part of a labor dispute?
