  • This argument goes around and around every time someone says ACAB. There is a culture of protecting your own in police forces - it seems to happen all around the world. This culture causes otherwise good cops to overlook actions of their peers that shouldn’t be overlooked. If you let someone get away with something illegal, when your job is to uphold the law, then you are not doing your job and are really not a good cop after all - you’re just as bad as your peers. ACAB is a much simpler way of saying all that.

    I tried to just downvote and ignore you, but I’ll give you my perspective instead.

    Nature is cruel - lots and lots of animals survive by eating other animals. We are just animals that have evolved to, in most cases, be at the top of the food chain. As a species we have used our brains to abuse this position over the last several hundred years. Slowly (very slowly) we, as a species, are realising that this is wrong and are starting to use our brains to move away from animal consumption. I applaud those of you that have made a commitment to be the leading edge of this change, but I’m not there.
