ACAB means the police is upholding unjust systems and laws, isn’t that cops as individuals are bad. Of course a large percent of them are domestic abusers and racist, but that’s an entirely different issue.
If your slogan is inaccurate you will face resistance at every turn. Not to mention that some people using ACAB actually do think that all cops are personally bad.
Man, I actually agree with this… Most cops are bad, let’s start there. This said, there’s a lot of truth in the comment above the one I’m replying to. The system is absolutely corrupt. Civil asset forfeiture alone is a clear, objective example of it.
Words have social meaning, sorry not sorry.
ACAB means all cops are bastards
Because they enable if not encourage or participate in the problem.
Last, some does not mean the majority. Interesting that you’d be using this sort of logic, kinda tipping your hand…
Words have social meaning but that meaning is easy to twist and corrupt if the words are new and if the meaning is unclear, both of which are true for most liberal slogans tbh, especially ACAB. You can’t rely on conservative goodwill to interpret your slogan favorably when 1. you don’t agree among yourselves what “favorably” is and 2. conservatives don’t have goodwill.
Last, some does not mean the majority.
It doesn’t have to be a majority, just a significant enough portion that people hearing the phrase will have heard multiple people using it in two different and semi-opposite ways.

Fuck off, and don’t put me in a box. If you want to know my opinions you can ask me and I will answer truthfully. If I wanted to troll people and hide my real opinions I’d do something more interesting than arguing normally.
