You could say the same about ACABers suddenly becoming fans of police brutality 😏

No, ACAB is not a reasonable worldview in the first place. It’s very ignorant and intolerant. A society needs police, and most policepeople are good and sincere human beings.

Advocate of the police state gets killed by the police state.

Critics of the police state pointing and laughing doesn’t mean they’re suddenly fans.

It’s just two fascists trying to kill one another.

Ah, good old “both sides” argument. Half the reason we are in this mess.

I’ve no love lost for cops, but I also have no sympathy left in me while I wonder if I’m going to be able to keep my job, access healthcare, and generally exist as myself in society without someone decided to attack me. Fuck him, fuck the cop. There are no innocents in this story.

So I’m going to take some catharsis in that one of the people who would likely have murdered me or anyone like me in the future is gone.

Yeah I feel that.

This story, though is great: a piece of shit gets killed, and I don’t have to care about what happens to the killer either. This isn’t some guy like Luigi who did it because of how he was treated, it’s a cop. And, given the odds, he’s a giant piece of shit anyways, he just happened to do something useful.

Not really. We all still recognize that a police officer murdering someone is fundamentally bad.

Just because people are glad that a violent, brainwashed magat died bleeding in the street doesn’t mean they think it’s okay that the system allowed for it.

Are you familiar with “even a broken clock is right once a day”?

Lol.

Not me. I still want a bodycam. And am still disgusted that the person checking for police wrongdoing will just be… the police.

Not having empathy for a horrible person != being a fan of police brutality (which it wasn’t even police brutality)

I’m not sure why the downvotes. The meme could literally have two buttons that say “ACAB” and “Justice is served” and it’d have the same effect.

The story is ironic. That’s why the meme works. There can be conflicted feelings all around.
