I don’t wanna agree or disagree about this and I’m not flaming or kvetching. I only wonder how many people on this thread actually know someone in law-enforcement. I won’t argue that there are not racists and bad actors in law enforcement. However, believe it or not, there are people that not only want to protect and defend the constitution, but they want to protect and serve. Just like in the military.

@SpinozasHeresy @Adam_Cadmon1 Take a look at Eric Adams to see what happens to good apples when they get thrown into a rotten barrel. He joined NYPD as a community activist specifically for the purpose of reforming it from the inside, now he's an illustrative case of ACAB.

I’ve never met Eric Adams, but given reporting on him, your opinions and mine are in alignment. However, I’m always suspicious of arguments stating that “All (insert sub-group, culture, religion, etc) are (insert pejorative)”. I try to base my opinions on my experiences and I have known people in law enforcement that are committed to their jobs (see J6 Capitol Police). That’s all I’m saying. 

@SpinozasHeresy @Adam_Cadmon1 Capitol Police were the good guys on J6, but there are plenty of examples of them abusing peaceful protesters.

Whataboutism is easy and is as suspect as ACABisms.

Let me bring my point to your doorstep. When was the last time YOU had a purely social interaction with someone employed in law-enforcement? Did you have a beer? Did you get lunch? Did you watch your kids play soccer together?
