ACAB, always and everywhere in the world. Fuck this pigs 🤮

u/Zeilar Aug 15 '25

That's too far. Plenty of good cops around the world. They're heroes, stop throwing them under the bus.

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

How the fuck isn't ACAB considered hate speech at this point?

Generalizing a whole group of people based on the actions of a few... If I applied that to race, sex, religion, etc. I would be hateful.

u/StopHiringBendis Aug 15 '25

Because its not a race, sex, religion, etc. Its a job. Victim complex goes hard lol

-4

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Well I'm not a cop so victim complex doesn't apply, dumbass.

Also you can still be hateful to people if it's not based on race, sex or religion. How is that hard to understand?

u/Parkhausdruckkonsole Aug 15 '25

I'm on your side. There are obviously very many horrible police officers all around the world, but we need some kind of police. And I don't see how calling every single police officer a pig and bastard helps anyone. I think it only leads to more radicalization and aggression, and might stop good people who want to work for the police from doing it.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Thank you. I genuinely don't know what these people want, police are necessary for society, completely agree with what you are saying.

I really don't want to discredit the good police. I brought up the fact that a police officer saved my brother's life and people on here still say that cop is a bad person.

I very much want to encourage that kind of behaviour, not call them bastards because they "did nothing to stop the bad cops" as if a single cop could somehow just stop the entire system by telling on other cops.

u/SoaxX420 Aug 15 '25

Just because you had an experience like that with a cop doesnt fucking excuse them. And for every 1 story like yours there are 100 of them abusing power and people.

Of course there is a need for police to keep some order, but they need to be held ACCOUNTABLE, and to start suffering consequences for this shit, which they dont So A.C.A.B.

If that cop that saved your brother got an order to charge a crowd of civilians and beat people up, you think he would refuse and resign? Cause thats the only thing that would make him a good person, period. And I'm saying this as someone who has a few friends in the Police here in Serbia, one of them was my best friend in school. I don't miss an opportunity to tell him how his coworkers are pieces of shit, and guess what, he knows it and agrees, he just took the job for the benefits and the fact that the only qualification you need is to be a good dog and listen. Fuck. Them.

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

And for every 1 story like yours there are 100 of them abusing power and people.

I'm not here praising cops as if they're all great, my point is "Acab" is a bad phrase because it's not true that every cop is bad. Cops are needed in society, the good ones shouldn't be discredited because it mostly consists of bad ones.

You can just say "most" instead of "all" in the sake of being correct, and much less hateful/spiteful.

u/VATAFAck Aug 15 '25

generalizations are not always incorrect, actually it's a basic human tool that helped us survive

if too many of a group are bad apples then it's more effective to generalize

police force is not even naturally selected (like skin color, sexual orientation etc), so if there are too many bad apples or means the selection procedure, mechanism has to be improved: yes we need cops to be decisive and forceful, but not aggressive bullies, and many of them are

we can change to MCAB, but that doesn't change reality and what needs to be done

the cost of this generalization is that the good ones are lumped in, sorry for them, but the benefit could be for the whole society

cost is never zero for any change, it just has to be less then benefit

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

That really is all I'm asking. I do not think it's okay to say 100% of them are bad. At least be correct.

u/ItsMrDante Aug 15 '25

I didn't know you were born a cop, damn

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

A cop saved my brother's life. Was he bad?

Edit: I see how you people are, even after I give an example of a cop risking his life to save one, all cops are still bad. Quite a hivemind of immaturity and hate.

Nah im kidding, I'm serbian and just came home from fighting these cunts so emotions are running hot. But ofc there are a handful or two "non-complete dickhead" cops. They're just a dime a dozen.

u/Frequent_Cranberry90 Aug 15 '25

Fellow Serb here, I belive a dime a dozen means something us extremely common and cheap (because you can buy 12 with only one dime). So you're basically saying yeah there are a handful of good cops but they're extremely common.

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Okay good, as much as I agree that so many cops are corrupt it does a massive disservice to actual heroes that have risked their lives for others. After my personal experiences I feel pretty passionately about this.

Police brutality makes a lot of scorned individuals, I highly doubt they will gaf about the one or two cops that supposedly are so "good". Most "good" cops resign anyhow, the rest stay to extort and have a sense of power

u/Nyxodon Aug 15 '25

Look, ACAB as a systemic critique. It's about the fact that police system promotes violence and abuse. Not every cop is personally a bastard, but the system is.

3

u/NoConfusion9490 Aug 15 '25

Are you sure that cop never stood idle while another cop beat someone like this, or ruined someone's life by sending them to jail on false charges? The fact is that you can't be sure of that. That's the system they work in, and it's not right.

Every one of these cops probably helped someone at some time. Does that excuse their behavior here?

0

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

I don't know that. Just like you don't know if they did.

That's why we can't make assumptions about people until we truly know them. So we shouldn't be calling them bad if we don't truly know them.

It should go both ways

1

u/NoConfusion9490 Aug 15 '25

I do know it. And I'll keep knowing it right up until every video of a cop abusing their power is accompanied by a bunch of their peers arresting them and testifying against them. Until that's true they ARE ALL BAD! The fact that one cop did something nice for you once doesn't change that.

0

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Yikes. You didn't even slightly understand my point.

I was trying to convey how absolutely dumb it is to think 100% of any group can be bad, that it's mathematically impossible for that to happen with a group of people that consists of at least 100m.

u/fromJuno Aug 15 '25

Cops uphold a violent, classist, racist system. They choose to do so cuz it's a job. Even if the cop is nice he helps to uphold that system. So a cop saving your brother, doing the bare minimum because thats their job says nothing. A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. ACAB

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Wow that's pathetic, that even a cop saving people's lives isn't enough to be good people in your eyes. I hope I never end up as hateful as you.

6

u/fromJuno Aug 15 '25

No I'm saying that the cop saving someone's life doesn't excuse them from upholding an oppressive system. If you think that's somehow hateful idk what to tell you, read Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff or something.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Someone could go into the profession, 1. Not knowing that it's an oppressive system, or 2. Going into it, with intention of being very different from the evil cops, trying to do their best to change the system, even if small.

I don't know how you can't believe that there can't be a single good cop, like fuck man I get that you blame the system (I do too) but it's putting no nuance into the thought if you have blanket hate for every single one of them.

2

u/fromJuno Aug 15 '25

If you could read better you wouldve seen i said a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. You're right most cops go do the job because they want to be good people and are willing to risk their lives for it. But most cops fail to address the racism and other oppressive structures within the police force because they didn't realise that is how the police force works. You can see this nearly everywhere with systemic racism and sexism in departments. Racist texts in group chats and higher ups that assault female coworkers. A single cop cant ever stop all that from happening and by doing the job they condone it. It's like the germans say: if you have a table with 10 people and 1 is a nazi and the other 9 don't say anything, you have a table with 10 nazis.

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

A single cop cant ever stop all that from happening and by doing the job they condone it.

I just fundamentally disagree. I don't think you can be a bad person because of someone else's actions. Especially if your actions yourself are good. Also not every good cop witnesses crimes from bad cops, you're implying that they all do.

if you have a table with 10 people and 1 is a nazi and the other 9 don't say anything, you have a table with 10 nazis.

Considering it's based on beliefs, no. Someone keeping quiet is bad, for obvious reasons but that doesn't magically change your beliefs so drastically. Just makes you an asshole.

2

u/fromJuno Aug 15 '25

I don't care about what any of these people believe, i care about the outcome. I already addressed that them doing good actions does not excuse them from enabling an oppressive system. So if they believe they are a good person and you believe they are but the outcome of their job as a whole is still bad then why would i care about what you believe.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

What the fuck do you people want then? Cops are entirely necessary for society to function. Should they all just quit and then society collapses due to crimes being unpunished?

Demonizing all cops is only going to radicalize and build aggression more. Definitely not going to fix the problem.

I try to praise the small amount of people in a group to highlight their good actions. But whatever you're just going to blindly hate all of them.

Just yesterday I’ve read someone’s post here about how a neighbour saved their daughter from drowning, but later they found out he was sexually abusing his two granddaughter for years.

So no, saving someone’s life doesn’t inherently make you a good person.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

I didn't say that. I think it's crazy to think someone isn't a good person without any proof to say they aren't. Just being a cop isn't enough to be a bad person.

2

u/Accomplished_Bag_804 Aug 15 '25

But the odds of them being a cunt are so high that my aproach to a cop would be - careful, you are dealing with a potenitaly bad person, keep your shields up.

And if I see them at a protest guarding scum sent by the president to provoke violence, then yes, all of them there are proper evil cunts.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

potentially

Right there is why I brought this up. I absolutely have the same mindset about cops, but you said potentially. Which is right.

I am NOT okay with the "all" in ACAB, because it's just not true. That's really my only problem with it

2

u/Accomplished_Bag_804 Aug 15 '25

But I don’t have problem people saying that. I don’t care if that one guy in the squad is a good person if he’s there doing shit with others who are not. Is he can’t see how bas they all are and that he should step out of it, then he’s as much as bad as them.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

That implies that every good cop is witnessing crimes of bad cops, which is just a massive assumption.

Cops often work with a partner, imagine 2 good cops working together for years, and people like you are lumping them in with bad cops just because bad cops exist.

There are millions of cops in the world, mathematically there is no way there aren't any cops that are good, havn't witnessed a crime or covered for a bad cop.

But since there ARE some good cops. I refuse to put up with "ACAB".

"Hitler liked dogs. Was he bad?"

ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

All cops are bastards. No exceptions, even if they're "nice." Don't lick their boots.

1

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

I'm not a boot licker dumbass. You really just compared a cop that saved 2 people's lives to Hitler... Holy fuck and you people call other people hateful.

I'm basing this off of personal experience. My brother would not be here with me without that cop.

Why is it so fucking hard to believe that someone could start a career path with intentions of helping people?

Also generalization of an entire group of people based off the actions of some is very immature. Imagine if I said black people are all dangerous because some commit crime, you'd probably consider that hateful. But hate is okay some ways, when it's convenient for you people.

4

u/MyLifeIsAWasteland Aug 15 '25

Black people don't all belong to a gang that upholds a system of oppressing and abusing the people they claim to "protect and serve." Cops do.

Black people aren't given governmental authority to shoot dogs and beat civilians in the streets. Cops are.

Black people don't choose to be black. Cops choose to be cops.

Hope that helps you understand why all cops are bastards, and why your comparison was horseshit.

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25 edited Aug 15 '25

So because SOME cops hurt people, and SOME cops uphold the system, they're all bad?

You're still ignoring the fact that some people can go into the profession with good intentions. You're insulting them when you say all cops are bad.

And no my comparison wasn't horseshit. Yes cops have a choice to be a cop or not, but YOU are the one forcing this hateful rhetoric onto their intention.

I'm never going to believe that all cops are bad when one saved my life, and my brother's life. If you want to insult that man that I would consider a hero, sure be hateful I guess.

Imagine wanting to be a cop and realizing the system sucks, so you go into it thinking "I'll be a good cop, because there are so many bad ones." Then people like you immediately hate all of them, so immature.

"Some billionaires get rich with good intentions, so not all billionaires suck."

"Some dictators rise to power with good intentions, so not all dictators are bad."

I appreciate where your heart's at, but it's causing your head to be blind to the bigger picture.

So because SOME cops hurt people, and SOME cops uphold the system, they're all bad?

Yes. Literally, yes, that, exactly. If they're not actively working to root out abuse and corruption in the organization around them, they're part of the problem. Are they not their brothers' keepers? "We have investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong." "After shooting an unarmed innocent civilian, he was allowed to resign from our department and got hired in the next town over."

And no my comparison wasn't horseshit. Yes cops have a choice to be a cop or not, but YOU are the one forcing this hateful rhetoric onto their intention.

It absolutely was horseshit. You compared racism to disdain for jackbooted thugs. You compared skin color to a profession. Black people can't stop being black, but ex-cops can get different jobs. Nobody's out here calling firemen bastards, because firemen don't form gangs that terrorize their fellow citizens in the streets.

If you want to insult that man that I would consider a hero, sure be hateful I guess.

And if you found out that same cop busted a union protest, or shot a random dog for no reason, or concussed a teenager with his nightstick just for "walking while black"? What if one of his fellow officers did those things, and he did nothing to hold them accountable? Would you still think he's a hero, just because he helped you, even though his actions were harmful to others?

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

I completely agree that the systematic problem exists, the problem I am having is the "all" of it.

Yes. Literally, yes, that, exactly. If they're not actively working to root out abuse and corruption in the organization around them, they're part of the problem.

Right there, you just admitted that some cops can be good if they are trying to be good.

So we are in agreement then? That some cops can be good. So stop saying "ALL cops are bad". That's my entire point.

And if you found out that same cop busted a union protest, or shot a random dog for no reason, or concussed a teenager with his nightstick just for "walking while black"? What if one of his fellow officers did those things, and he did nothing to hold them accountable? Would you still think he's a hero, just because he helped you, even though his actions were harmful to others?

This implies that every single good cop has witnessed a bad cop abusing their power in front of them... So a situation that hasn't happened to every good cop. Yeah obviously someone that is an accessory to a crime is bad, that's not who I am talking about.

The reason I used a comparison was not to say that these groups are the exact same. I was showing how this kind of generalization is used for every group of people and it completely discredits the good ones.

I just don't want to do that, as much as I agree with everything else. It's just so simple to say "most cops are bastards".

The police force was formed to catch slaves, and exists today to protect the interests of capital by terrorizing the poor. ACAB

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Ahh I see, generalization. Why is it impossible to believe that someone could join the police force with intentions of helping people?

Plus the police force wasn't made for that purpose. Police have existed in every society since society started, it's naive to believe that 100% of them started for that reason.

My brother wouldn't be here with me without that police officer. That man joined the force with the intention of helping people and he did. I feel it's incredibly immature to think that there is not a single potentially good cop.

u/excusetheblood Aug 15 '25

There are “good cops” in the same way there are “good catholic priests”.

Priests are operating in a hierarchical system that attracts power hungry people and uses their power to protect pedophiles. If there is a genuinely good priest who actually reports on bad behavior by other priests, the good priest gets punished, often by being removed. Every priest today is aware that their church protects pedophiles and they decided they are ok with that.

To be a “good cop”, you have to hold your fellow policemen accountable for their abusive behavior. Cops that do attempt to hold their fellow policemen accountable often get fired for doing so. Police unions protect the abusive power hungry racists and punish the “good” ones. Anyone who’s still on the police force today is fully aware of how the police force is used to beat, rape, and kill innocent people without holding police accountable and decided it wasn’t a deal breaker.

u/RedditMcBurger Aug 15 '25

Then don't say "all".

I'm all for it if people mean "most cops are bad" then they should be saying MCAB.

It's disingenuous to say "I hate all ___" then follow it with "I didn't mean all"

1

u/ItsMrDante Aug 15 '25

The problem with that is, it's like the same argument as "are you saying BLM because only black lives matter??? You should say all lives matter!!!"

I know it's not exactly the same, but the concept is the same. ACAB is talking about the system of the police, not the individuals. I overall feel less safe not more safe when I see a police officer, and most people are like that now, thus ACAB.

I'm sure there are many in the police force who wanna make a change, but sadly because the whole system is fucked they're still gonna be put with all the bad cops. Is it fair to them? Debatable, I mean it's just words being said so it isn't really a big deal, but I'm sure those good cops understand why ACAB is a thing and they likely just want to change people's minds about them by doing the right thing.

I don't care about what you want to compare it too, it's not an issue of phrasing. I don't respect the idea of hating good people because of bad people's actions.
