Never trust the cops kids, they do not care about you.
Since cops have no duty to protect, every single time you see a cop protecting a nazi, it's because that cop chose to protect that nazi.

My first thought was "well there's a slightly less chance they'll be aggressive if you stroke their ego" and hoo boy does that say a lot about American policing.
America is fucking weird man. Why would you thank cops for their service?
They thank members of the armed forces (soldiers, sailors, aviators etc.) for their service and most people extend these for the police force as well.
Why? (For both parts of that statement)
Because they have theoretically dangerous jobs, that Americans indoctrination teaches are necessary for the American way of life.
It's so stupid too. It's not like they were drafted. They signed up for it willingly. They're being compensated for it too, so it's not like they're volunteers either.
Because soldiers serve the country they are a citizen of.
That's still fucking weird.
Sounds like we should be even more upset with the courts/judges🤔
While I agree they share their weight of the issue, the police unions who push for this always seem to go mostly unnoticed
This is also true
Very good point. If you have a parent that won't correct a misbehaving kid, is it the kids fault that they're a pos?
It doesn't help that police have their own "policies" that are usually misaligned with the actual law, which in turn cause them to ignore a lot of people's civil rights.
The first "A" in ACAB stands for ALL.
Yes even that one cop. Yes, even your uncle.
There can be no good cops while they allow bad cops to exist.
If you ever get detained by cops:
-
"I am exercising my right to remain silent."
-
"I am exercising my right to speak with a lawyer."
-
SHUT UP (Don't say shut up. Actually shut up)
Always remember:
You can never talk yourself OUT of trouble. You can only talk yourself INTO trouble!
They are however, required to protect corporations from you.
Not american, but what is the reason for these recurring ACAB memes? Did something awful happen again over there or is this some high level larping?
no. nothing bad happened relating to cops ever 😊

Over 3 years ago in the US: several police officers murdered a black man named George Floyd over him using a counterfeit bill within a local convenience store. They placed him on the ground and at least 2 of them placed their knees on Mr. Floyd, including one officer named Derek Chauvin who placed his knee on the neck of Mr. Floyd.
Chauvin would hold his knee there for over 7 minutes until Mr. Floyd was unresponsive. He was declared dead not even an hour later. The death of Mr. Floyd caused a wave of protests across the nation as a result of his death, and there was a greater emphasis placed on murders done by American Police. This was also essentially back to back with the public's discovery of the murder of Ahmaud Abrey who was killed by a former cop; as well as the murder of Brianna Taylor by cops who went to the wrong house in plain clothes and started shooting.
Simply put, a lot of people don't trust police in the US. Many find that police are often useless in investigations, and the body count that they rack up as alleged professionals is terrifying. This sentiment has only grown over the past several years, and there is an ever growing list of murder done by the police in the US with a very large portion being innocent civilians such as the ones mentioned above.
I hope this helped some.
