It was obviously in reference to people who apply to become cops in our current environment being a tyrant in their eyes to enforce useless laws and abuse their power. You seem to deal with absolutes like bolded so you have no space for nuance in your arguments.

You are one to mention absolutes. You understand what acab stands for correct? Specifically the A. You are not arguing against that in the least. You are dishonest. End of story.

As literally always, there is “nuance” when you are wrong, and in the case of this topic we are supposed to just accept that out of billions of instances (over 50 million per year in the US alone) we can pull up one video or two every now and then to condemn the entire institution of law.

Again, stop trying to mind checkers me. If you agree with this slogan you are either mentally incapable of comprehending basic math (the difference between 100% and .00000001%) or simply evil.

You want people to look at every police officer and see the .00000001% of instances where things went wrong. This is simply evil. ^plaguefear and whoever knowingly goes along with this is evil. Period. There is no hiding this anymore. People like this are rooting for the dismantling of everything that has allowed humanity to prosper to the point where evil fucking losers can pull a magic box out of their pocket and anonymously say stupid shit like this while having no actual problems and absolutely zero respect for the people and institutions which allow them to be such fucking privileged, spoiled fucking brats.

Once again you're dealing with absolutes and taking a slogan of a movement at face value instead of reading into what the deeper understanding of the movement is.

Left leaning movements like that definitely have terrible names/slogans and prefer being provocative & inflammatory to the other side. Probably why Defund the Police didn't get much traction

Once again you're dealing with absolutes and taking a slogan of a movement at face value instead of reading into what the deeper understanding of the movement is. Same reason why racists got offended by "Black Lives Matter" thinking they meant ONLY Black lives matter despite it being about raising awareness on discriminatory practices against them. You seem to rationalize your ignorance of a topic and portray it as other people being dishonest for some reason though.

".00000001% of instances where things go wrong" is such a blatantly ignorant statement, especially in America that it's not even worth going further on with this debate(if you want to call it that) as you're obviously emotionally driven and so deeply biased that you can't accept there's a problem to begin with. Hopefully you can get that under wraps one day

Have you ever broken down the math to what % of police interactions end up in objectively tragic mistakes? Clearly you have not. I will never quit reminding rational people that these videos are going past the sixth decimal, and that is assuming every single one occurred in the United States within the same calendar year. I am giving you an extreme amount of leeway with the numbers skewing towards your point, and it is still absurd.

This isn’t a debate. You are literally telling me “All Cops Are Bastards” doesn’t mean all cops. This has, as usual, been an incredibly stupid exchange.


I genuinely challenge you to bring me the % of interactions per year leading to these sort of mistakes.

Statistically the vast majority of cops will cover up for bad cops, this makes all cops bastards, the ones who are not bastards are generally forced out.
