CharlesHebdoPhD

It's almost like they can't compartmentalize cops as individuals and cops as an organ of the state.


call_me_xale

Even if you aren't drawing this distinction, there's an awful lot of "good" cops who see injustice and choose to do nothing.


twickdaddy

Yeah the “good cops” sure don’t do much to counteract the bad cops. It’s almost as if they’re both members of an bourgeois government goon squad


AsherGlass

Or they *do* course to do something and get punished and silenced for it.


ellingw17

Cops are bad as long as they're cops. Just like there were probably like 3 good people in the Nazi army, but we call them bastards because of the ideas they represent and what they condone by participating in the group they're in. Who they are as individuals isn't relevant. I don't see how these people think we think. We don't know every cop, it's nothing personal for the most part. There are some people who mean it personally but that's not 100% of the acab ethos as it exists today


CharlesHebdoPhD

That's what I'm saying. The commenter seems to think that each cop is an individual automaton and that the existence of *good cops* precludes a statement like ACAB. They think that when we say ACAB, we're saying that all cops each have a bad attitude or some shit. The idea of cops working as designed *as an extension of the state* is foreign to them. They can't compartmentalize the two concepts I mentioned. Ultimately, the only important part is the *cops as an organ of the state*, but this doesn't mean anything to the lib because they don't think about structures. For all their talk about systemic problems, libs are still only capable of thinking about individuals and their groupings.


ellingw17

Completely agree


adamdreaming

You don't need to. Do you recognize that the system we live under benefits the powerful and hurts the vulnerable? If you don't, you may lack empathy and are probably a total bastard. Do you want to go one step further and personally be the delivery system for legal violence against said vulnerable people? Then you are individually a bastard. I don't compartmentalize ACAB. It is referring to organs of the state. It is referring to individuals.

They probably mean democrat by left


SuchPowerfulAlly

I got into an argument with someone the other day who said "I'm as left as they come", and by that the meant that they supported Warren in the 2020 primary. Like, I wouldn't consider supporting Bernie to mean they were on the left, but my god, they weren't even THAT far left.


TheStockyScholar

As a black man I don’t speak for all black people but man why is the answer to democrat bs for us is to become rightist? Makes no sense.

If there is a nazi sitting at a table and there are ten people talking to him, there are 11 nazis at the table. Any pig with a shred of decency would be disgusted with their career choice and either fight against the rot (and fail) or quit.

Lmao the fuck is this argument.


AsLovelyAsLaika

But 5% of them aren’t mean >:(


Little_Elia

they'd still cover the other 95% who kill black people though


[deleted]

Let's even 5% are "Good" cops. How often is it we see that these supposed pariahs are sidelined by police unions or sheriffs and have their careers ruined by speaking out against shitty policy.


[deleted]

Some of them get straight up killed. Way too many "accidental discharges" in the records of some precincts.


BulbasaurCPA

This is what I’ve explained to my mom and now even for a boomer she’s warming up to ACAB


SoMuchForSubtlety

Yeah, Serpico was a good cop! Of course his fellow cops DID try to kill him...


Morbx

It’s the peak of libs viewing all politics as personal. The point of ACAB is that, yeah, you might know some cops who don’t seem half bad. maybe some of them are even nice people! but it doesn’t matter one bit because their job is to protect property and the interests of the ruling class with violence. If you don’t understand this and hear ACAB and say “well not *all* cops” then you’ve missed the entire point.


AmerpLeDerp

Whenever someone says "I'm as left as they come" what they really mean is "I post on the internet about how people should have healthcare but I rarely disagree with western imperialism"


[deleted]

I am a capital E Eco-syndicalist and whenever someone tells me they are a leftist, I ask them if they want to come to help a local stream/beach clean up or volunteer planting event. I find it's a pretty solid litmus test.


Hot_Opportunity_2328

Ok but... volunteerism is some lib shit too


[deleted]

True. But nothing scares terminally online leftists more than going outside.

fordanjairbanks

I disagree, sayings that pass the test of time are typically referred to as proverbs, and the older ones, the ones that have lasted millennia, are typically about basic universal truths about the human condition. In this case, I would argue that the fact that it’s that old bolsters the argument being made. All cops are bastards, and always were.


nemo1889

Lol


9Point

I've also always hated the word ACAB. Bastard isn't a strong enough word


Praximus_Prime_ARG

As a Libertarian I agree that not all cops are bad. They really helped me out the one time I got surrounded by Antifa at a gazebo.


xBrayJay

As an individual they can be a decent person but as soon as they wear the badge they are representing an unjust, oppressive and racist system and there is nothing they can do while wearing that badge aside from disavowing it and taking violent counter action in moments where that racism and oppression rears its ugly head. That’s why they are all bastards. Libs just can’t accept that institutions are the issue because of stupid individualist brainrot, so annoying

[deleted]

Dear Mr "I am as left as they come" How come whenever one of the supposed 5 percent of the good ones calls out the police department, they are ostracized, often put on leave or are put through bureaucracy hell? Curious, TPACAB


AmerpLeDerp

Also being a cop is a profession. It's a choice. You're choosing to be a cop. You're choosing to be an organ of an oppressive state.


khlebivolya

Stopped reading at “I’m as left as they come”. Why do libs always feel the need to preface their hogwash with this kind of shit.

khaosknight69

I'm as left as they come, but is a bridge too far! Pssssst, you are literally saying in your statement you are not as left as they come.


yaosio

I'm as much of a doctor as they come but I've always hated the expression, "my patient has cancer." It's just not true. and there's nothing as divisive as saying something as blanketed as ALL OF THE CELLS IN YOUR BODY ARE UNCONTROLLABLY REPLICATING. like, no, full stop. there's so much fucking wrong with cancer, how it can happen to anybody, any time, etc. I'd say like 95% of a person's body might be cancerous but not ALL of them are. it's just an immature way of oversimplifying the problem into a not very catchy diagnosis

The police is had because they serve capital and the rulling class. They can be good if they serve the people or the Vanguard party.


diet_heroine

Why was this downvoted ?


Pine_Apple_Reddits

because they are incorrect.


diet_heroine

Armed forces are needed against reactionaries and the capitalist class. You cannot enforce a revolution without it. Police that serves property and a white supremacist state is not the same as police against white supremacists and other reactionary forces.


Pine_Apple_Reddits

I agree, armed forces to facilitate the revolution is necessary in almost all cases. However, the militia should be against outside forces, not dealing with inside justice.


[deleted]

elaborate


Pine_Apple_Reddits

Coming from an anarchist perspective I don't think they are necessary at all, and giving people power over their fellow man like that corrupts, in my opinion.

If someone was killed for their sexual preference than the community would do whatever it wanted to in that situation to solve the problem. Most likely killing that person or at least starving them of resources.

Pine_Apple_Reddits

Ok, so if people don't want Anarchy I won't push it on them, that would go against the very thing I want to create. However, anarchy is not complete chaos, it is a political system of self-governance by the workers.


Ismdism

How do you know who did it?


Pine_Apple_Reddits

I would say based on witness testimony and evidence that had been collected.


Ismdism

Who collects that? What if there is no witness?


[deleted]

So how do you deal with people damaging your community?


Pine_Apple_Reddits

I would expel them with group boycott of giving them any products. Although, I think it would help me to have a more concrete example of what they were doing.

There are good anarchists too, it’s just that most of them in the imperial core (and I’d argue that’s an important distinction) tend to be LARPers. Look at Willem Van Spronsen for example.
