  • ACAB is a slogan. It’s not factual in the strictest sense but it captures a truth. Statistically speaking, there is at least one good cop. Maybe even two. Real Andy Griffith, Carlton Lassiter types. Their existence does not change the fact that the system is rotten to the very core, and their tacit support for that system makes them bastards, even if they themselves have never abused anyone or covered for a colleague’s malpractice. Good cops exist, but they don’t last very long.

    And as the sibling comment pointed out, institutionally speaking the RCMP is a god awful example if you’re trying to make a case for good cops.











  • The government’s argument that it’s unreasonable to expect them to be able to get him back in a timely manner calls into question what they were thinking when they started the practice in the first place.

    I mean, obviously it’s evil and they’re evil. But did they seriously never consider that they might fuck it up at some point and have to try to take someone back? They’re denying people due process, of course they were going to fuck it up at some point. That’s kind of the point of what they’re doing, is carrying out injustice. Then again, what do they care for morality? And when the king commands it, is it really illegal?
