Works for me. They enjoy far too much indemnity. It’s long past time they had to answer to the law they supposedly uphold.
But you missed the point. There are good cops. The problem is, they see the bad cops and choose their job over blowing the whistle. And given their line of work, that makes them spineless and complicit.
But how do you know they choose to not blow the whistle?
Seems quite a number of things are coming to light where things WERE escalated to superiors or even government. These end up under gag-order while “under investigation” - often for years - which means that they reporting officer could be fined/jailed themselves for leaking it, and includes stuff like sexual assaults within the police force itself.
It’s a no-win situation for good cops, and calling them spineless and complicit without knowing the details of such just makes you an asshole.

This is the all in ACAB, right here. This is the point we’re trying to make, and you’re making it for us. The point is that the system of policing ensures that bad cops are protected and elevated and good cops are either silenced (thus becoming bad cops) or forced out. The fact that “it’s a no-win situation for good cops” is exactly what ACAB is saying.

I’m okay being an asshole.
