so why is that when 5 idiots do something then people scream ACAB all day and night? I am not a cop buy my childhood and current best friend was and he had to go through some fucking shit. he had to deal with suicide by cop, crack addicts just being..crack addicts. idiot people driving around dangerously, bomb threats left and right, angry karens crying about their neighbors and more.
Your friend chose to be a cop. He was not forced to become one.
He should choose his next job with care, doing the research he should have done before picking law enforcement.
Nah that's a dumbass take. He was in the military for 2 terms (8 years), became a cop, became a detective, retired.
Dude spends his free time playing Warhammer 40k. But everyone just wants to assume he's an asshole I guess because of some guy 2,000 miles away.
Nah, that's a dumbass take.
How so?
It's 'ACAB' because plenty of cops like your friend could be a perfectly honorable and righteous individual, but the policing system as it is deployed incentivizes the use of force and violence. They have developed a militant culture seperating them from 'civilians'.
How many corrupt cops did your friend take down? If the answer is zero your friend is just as much of a bastard as the corrupt ones
There aren't any here so.... How could he have?
Bullshit.
Can't believe you cheated on you significant other man. That's some bullshit
That's terrible! There should be an investigation!
However, as a fellow internet commentator, I will stand in solidarity with my cheating brother no matter what. I support the creation of social structures that give him special privileges. Cheating should not be grounds for divorce, but only when it's an internet commentator.
What he did was terrible. Don't you dare treat him like the rest of the common rabble.
Trying to divert attention from yourself is a weak-assed response.
Take it like a man dude.
I'm just saying I know a guy who cheated on his wife so that means you did too. That's the logic here.
You seem to have responded to the wrong person.
So you're friend helps hide corruption?
