What’s been rubbing me the wrong way lately is the average mention of police on Lemmy seems to be in the acronym ACAB.
I can’t get over the first letter.
I’m hard pressed to think of any group of 10m (global) or 700k (domestic) people where I can use the word “All” before describing them. I prefer “PEB”: Policing Enables Bastards. I may be too literal*: “PEB” has been downvoted perhaps 2 or 3 of the 3 or 4 times I’ve mentioned it.
The most ethical department in the US probably has like two cops and they’re probably great to every single one of the couple hundred residents they serve. (Speculating) Why lump them in with even 99% of the rest of departments even if we believe those 99% all have at least one bad cop who the other cops covered for?
Maybe I should listen to those interviews featuring people who are glad to accept nuance, instead of just hearing from rightfully upset yet absolutist-minded people on here :)
Glad to read more from you! 😎
