I keep hearing everyone say this but I don’t see evidence of it. I can Google and see cops doing good things as well as bad, it seems like they aren’t all bad people honestly. This ACAB thing just seems like a rage outlet.
Also they can turn to the feds or the press, there are ways for cops to whistle blow.
Look up the Baltimore PD officer who spoke out against his colleagues and found himself not receiving backup when he called for it, being called a rat by his cop colleagues, having pieces of cheese left on his desk, and then dead rats left in his desk and car.
Or look up the NYPD officer who was arrested and involuntarily committed by the NYPD into a mental institution for blowing the whistle on some of their corruption.
Or look up how the police and sheriff’s offices work out in California, where the police departments and sheriff’s have been flagged by the FBI as essentially being government-sanctioned gang organizations.
ACAB, full stop. A few bad apples spoils the bunch, that’s the whole phrase, it’s not “Oh, some are good, some are bad,” they’re class traitors who will Back the Blue 11 times out of 10 before they would ever even admit a mistake, nevermind they were ever at fault.
