    ACAB is a bit too broad of an insult.

    Let’s specify this:

    Most cops in America are bastards -> MCIAAB

    Since in Europe the police is generally better than in USA but still not perfect:

    A lot cops in Europe are bastards -> ALCIEAB

      You’re missing the point of ACAB. All cops are either bastards or they tolerate and join ranks behind the ones who are actually bastards - making them bastards as well. Whistleblower cops are not bastards, but they end up not being cops any more and often not being alive any more.

        because its a stupid ass point from a outside point of view.

        every good or neutral person joining is a win compared to a truly awful one that could have taken the spot instead.

        its just the same old bland black and white tribalism.
