    From the U.S.

    A lot of interactions with police, very positive overall. Biggest issue I ever have had was having to wait over a holiday weekend to get a 1st hearing before being released.

    Using the ACAB terminology is a gaurenteed way to ensure racism and bad treatment are fixed at a way slower pace.

    Edit: my thought process… Anyone who wants to help change or becomes a cop trying to better the system you are already classifying as a bad person. So now they are trying an up hill battle against people that don’t like them bringing reform, fighting for people that don’t like them and call them names when they’re never met them. Eventually you imagine they give up on the reform because it’s easier and the same pay, and at least the people around them start to like them.

      So you acknowledge police are racist and abusers and aren’t doing anything to fix it internally?

        They still think the concept of a “good cop” exists lmfao. What it must be like to have such an elementary level take.

          “There isn’t even a single good cop in the world” is one of the most edgelord 13-year-old takes I’ve ever seen, and you’re acting like his take is oversimplified?
