    If they paid in being more cautious about hiring shitty cops I’d call that a win… while ACAB, some are definitely much bigger assholes.

      We say ACAB because any high school kid knows what lunch table has the bullies. When it’s matters of life/death/power imbalances, there is a moral obligation to sound the alarm on that table.

      But no cops ever seem to call out the psychopaths with guns amongst them. And in a position of power, that is just as bad.

      One bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
