Over exaggerated counter example: I guess not all concentration camp guards were evil, wicked people, yet they still participated in a wicked, evil system that oppressed, incarcerated, enslaved and killed people.
Which makes them evil, wicked people.
You do not have to be a bad person or do evil yourself to be a bastard. Your support or even acceptance of a bad system is enough.
Which means all cops are bastards through their participation.
This is like saying there are “good” Trump supporters. There are people who don’t believe or realize they’re fascists, but that doesn’t excuse their fascism. The net result on society is negative, so they are all objectively “bad”.
I think cops are a bad thing and I agree that this is clever.
Cops are a bad thing… In the US. Also not all cops, even in the US. ;)

Unless the copies start shooting ICE when they attack citizens, I’ll maintain that ACAB.
Even those trying to change the system from within?
And yet, their actions say otherwise.
