My first thought was "well there's a slightly less chance they'll be aggressive if you stroke their ego" and hoo boy does that say a lot about American policing.
Since cops have no duty to protect, every single time you see a cop protecting a nazi, it's because that cop chose to protect that nazi.
While I agree they share their weight of the issue, the police unions who push for this always seem to go mostly unnoticed
Very good point. If you have a parent that won't correct a misbehaving kid, is it the kids fault that they're a pos?
It doesn't help that police have their own "policies" that are usually misaligned with the actual law, which in turn cause them to ignore a lot of people's civil rights.
Not american, but what is the reason for these recurring ACAB memes? Did something awful happen again over there or is this some high level larping?
The first "A" in ACAB stands for ALL.
Yes even that one cop. Yes, even your uncle.
There can be no good cops while they allow bad cops to exist.
If you ever get detained by cops:
"I am exercising my right to remain silent."
"I am exercising my right to speak with a lawyer."
SHUT UP (Don't say shut up. Actually shut up)
Always remember:
You can never talk yourself OUT of trouble. You can only talk yourself INTO trouble!
