        imagine even thinking about making a joke like this in any work environment. you would be certain you would get fired. unless of course it was encouraged… which means you’re either a cop or you work at a “AAA” game company.

      This argument goes around and around every time someone says ACAB. There is a culture of protecting your own in police forces - it seems to happen all around the world. This culture causes otherwise good cops to overlook actions of their peers that shouldn’t be overlooked. If you let someone get away with something illegal, when your job is to uphold the law, then you are not doing your job and are really not a good cop after all - you’re just as bad as your peers. ACAB is a much simpler way of saying all that.

      Nope, if others were not bastards, this guy would not be on the force and would be in jail. They rally ‘round the family….

      And other cops aren’t.

      We have here, from this case alone:

      • 1 absolutely insane individual who recklessly killed Jaahnavi Kandula, Kevin Dave.
      • Daniel Auderer, who laughed at her death and said she was lower value anyway
      • Mike Solan, who didn’t shut Daniel down the moment he said that, also coincidentally SPOG president
      • Whomever is authorized to discharge all 3 of these
      • Whomever gave any of these 3 their positions
      • The Union that defends these guys
      • The cops willingly giving money to that Union

      We have more of such cases than Police Unions.

        Whomever gave any of these 3 their positions

        This one is unfair because it’s not necessarily evident at the time of hiring that an employee will act like th is.

        The cops willingly giving money to that Union

        Also unfair because you can’t just assume that a donor/member of an org agrees with every action of the group they donate/belong to.

        I agree with the rest. Most of those involved should be spending time in jail, qualified immunity should not apply here, nor should it honestly ever apply. Cops should be treated like regular citizens, which means giving citizens more protection as well as cops less protection from the law.

      Think of the system like a force field (the physics kind, not the scifi kind). It pulls bastards into it. If you’re not, you’re in its presence, and you’re susceptible to its effects. It’s more like “No Humans Are Immune To The Corrupting Influence Of Militarized Institutions” but ACAB is a lot easier to say.

      All cops. No exceptions. They are raised by selfish parents to be a selfish person who sees others as beneath them. It’s how cops are found, look for the greediest person in the room who would hurt others for gain and make them a lap dog. Cops aren’t smart enough to know they are being used. All cops. No exceptions.

        I’m looking for the cop unicorns though. Raised, indoctrinated, excels, realizes how fucked we all are, tries to do the most good possible within their power. Probably gets assassinated. Idk.

        And no, I don’t think Kamala is this lol
