        “You need to know the difference between cop and prosecutor, stupid progressives.”

        She literally calls herself a cop personally and branding

          I’m progressive, so your weird quote is even weirder.

          I never think lawyer when I hear ACAB. I do think “fuck lawyers” all the time, but rarely towards public servants (I mostly dislike corporate and greedy defense attorneys)

          Are ya’ll just lumping them together out of convenience of disliking both, or do ya’ll really not understand the difference between a lawyer and a cop?

            If she calls herself a cop, despite not being a cop, I can call her a cop.

            Is she one? No. But it’s weird that when she uses it in her branding, and people use that branding at critcism, we’re the naive idealists for saying “Cops aren’t going to solve fascism.”

          I don’t get the down votes. The article say it’s a label. She didn’t hold a position of a cop. I feel it’s a valid question. Is a DA (District Attorney) a cop?

            Absolutely not. They are a legal officer, which is very different from law enforcement. They work at separate parts of the legal process with very different goals.

            DA’s get stuck trying to clean up the trampling of rights by actual cops.
