yes i do agree. but at the same time, i also want more marginalized ppl in the police force. it's a difficult situation. bc the only way i can see this going is that all the 'socially progressive' ppl stay away from cop careers, which as a result, more racist people will choose/stay in cop careers. i just feel it has an adverse effect.Koolaid wrote:
radicalists want police abolition but that's never gonna happen. and we need to settle for compromise.

i understand the intention of acab, but intention often gets misrepresented. when blm was at its height there was very much the sentiment that if u want to be a cop, regardless of ur race/gender, ur a bad person. as a result, it drives marginalized ppl out of a career that very much needs marginalized ppl
The intention does get misused, I agree. hungover wrote:
Genuine question,
Acab isn't about every cop as an individual, it's about how truly rotten and corrupt the police force is. How can you disagree with that?
apologies if you've answered this before!
@hungover i dont agree with acab and "____ all men": i think those statements are inflammatory and counterproductive. if all men, then also all women, because we ALL exist under the patriarchy and are influenced by it. Genuine question,
