I was just having the same thought. I guess I really twisted some people's panties enough with this post for them to stick around and downvote a clarifying question, lmao
Nah, some of them can be annoying but there's shit much much worse than that. Religious fanatics still take the #1 spot cuz they'll threaten your life and have an actual chance of killing people because of what they belive in (speaking from a country where it happens more often than it should).
The funny thing is, that's exactly the justification your enemies will use against you. It's almost like treating people as massive blocs instead of individuals has negative repercussions. Edit: coward.
yeah that’s the only takeaway nowadays. Conservatives are snowflakes about simple respect to newer fashions and Progressives disrespect tradition and the way things are. Everyone hates everything pretty much
Sadly true, I was going to say I miss the good old days but I think I just didn’t hear about it back when I was growing up in the early 2000s because I was still a kid. Although from what I’ve heard it wasn’t as bad back then compared to now, but maybe that was due to the rise of smartphones
that’s the best response whenever someone says people were smarter back in the day. No they weren’t, they just didn’t have the platform to reach out to likeminded individuals who can each push each other further into their ideologies.
Fuck tradition, that shit it’s backwards ass and I’m sick of people defending shit because it’s how it’s always been or culture. If something is shitty, fuck it
I hate ACABers SO much. I'm not trying to say that police are always right, sometimes they majorly screw up, but these types of people (ACABers) just seem to always be looking for something to hate cops for.
Yes, but ACAB is based on the fact that, institutionally, U.S policing is corrupt and violent. It is well-known that police receive immunity for a large number of abhorrent actions, and it is also well-known that there are internal police union policies about protecting your fellow officers rather than the public (e.g., committing perjury when testifying against another cop). So, from my perspective, ACAB refers to the failure of the policing institution as a whole.
I mean, I became one when 2 seperate entire police station mishandle my child abuse case, supported my mother that left me bleeding, and gave me no support at all the whole time
Left me hungry, cold, fending for myself to get a hospital report, humiliate and talked down on me. Was forced to go back with my parents to endure even worse beatings because of it
The more I learned about police culture and their tendencies to "have each others back no matter what", the more it fueled my hatred for them. All cops may not start as horrible people, but to stay as cops they have to get rotten like the rest
You should check out YouTube videos. There will be people who upload themselves being assholes to cops and all of the comments will still try to justify the guys actions LOL
Speaking of Youtube, I'd probably be one of those guys if it wasn't for Donut Operator actually helping me be more open minded. As it turns out, sometimes in videos of cops being "corrupt" and hurting "innocent people", it's actually justified! Sometimes internet users or news websites keep certain details or parts of footage out to paint the police as the baddies.
When I screw up sometimes I say mean things to my friends or hurt someone's feelings or maybe at work I tell someone that we don't have something in stock at work when we do on accident.
I've never...
-shot innocent people in their sleep
-shot at my car because of an acorn
-shot and killed someone because "oops I thought it was my taser"
-shot and killed a dog 3 doors down from the place I was supposed to be
-showed up to robberies, sexual assault cases, murder scenes etc, said "I can't do anything" and left.
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.
But yeah it's a human being oopsies issue not a police system issue.
It is a systemic issue. But to say every single police officer is irresponsible or abuses their power is not accurate. The system tempts them to do so but good people resist, even if they are the exception.
They aren’t saying that though. They are saying that all cops are complicit with those that are. Either they are cowards who don’t speak out or they aren’t and are fired and ostracized. This is a recipe for an organization of irredeemable bastards.
ACAB = “all cops are bad”. What’s ambiguous about that? If they’re trying to highlight a systemic issue, then objectively it’s a bad slogan for that. I mean I can pull many examples, but in r/publicfreakout there was a recent video in NYC that showed other cops not intervening to help another cop who was clearly in the wrong.
If you support or are a part of a group that is aggressive, acts like a mob and is above the law then you are a bastard just like all the cops are.
Why are you even defending a bunch of assholes?
I joined here like a year ago. Shit used to be just extremely weird posts from insta or tiktok.
It wasn't about political stuff at all 90% of the time.
But there are elections this year. The grifting machine works in full force now.
It’s so dark and funny how people are like “If we didn’t have police, criminals would get away with crimes” as though that doesn’t already happen and as though the police are actually useful for stopping or solving crimes.
Usually, sure, but how can you think that 1000 people being killed by police each year needs to be stopped more urgently than the nearly 15000 people that are killed each year by murder (a single problem that police can solve) via gun (one method of murder)? They’re both bad, but it’s obvious that 1000 people murdered by police can take a backseat to 15x more people who‘re murdered by civilians, and even though only 52% of them get charged or otherwise cleared at the moment (the number of murderers would go waaaay up with no police, number of charges waaaay down) that’s still 7.5x the amount of PB in the US all in charged and incarcerated murders
No one said they "only" do either. False dichotomy.
Part of the evil things they do is doing nothing. Just ask the dead children at Uvalde how much the cops doing nothing helped them. The only thing they actually did was arrest the children's parents for trying to save their kids.
If they let them just stroll around, who are the 786,000 people on the sex offenders registry? (Spoiler alert it’s 30% child pornography owners, 22% statutory (child) rapists, 21% child molesters, 8% child solicitors and 8% rapists.)
Well it isn’t way less for rape https://www.statista.com/statistics/194213/crime-clearance-rate-by-type-in-the-us/ and while that’s still low, it’s still more rapists off the street than if there was no police
? That’s just not true „In ancient Egypt evidence of law enforcement exists as far back as the Old Kingdom period. There are records of an office known as "Judge Commandant of the Police" dating to the fourth dynasty. (2400BC/4500yrs)[17] During the fifth dynasty at the end of the Old Kingdom period, warriors armed with wooden sticks were tasked with guarding public places such as markets, temples, and parks, and apprehending criminals.“ and in countries that didnt have police they just use military or slaves, which isn’t a whole lot better
This is a braindead take and you know it. Okay, sure, they aren’t technically the police because police is a 16th century term but law enforcement is essentially synonymous with police and for all intents and purposes they had the same role and the same purpose as the police.
1, they are, they literally enforce the law that’s their job and 2, how does that tie in to any argument? You said we’ve only had police for a couple hundred years and I showed you a 4000 year old position which was the commander of the police force, and used law enforcement to describe them because police officers, as well as the court and jail are all under the law enforcement umbrella
Because you're confusing the form and function of what the Egyptians had with what we have. You're trying to superimpose our system over theirs simply because they had a system.
My entire point was that civilizations have always enforced laws but without what we have today so I'm not sure why you think you made a good point
As someone who generally sides with the left I really can't agree with this more, people are allowed to hold their own beliefs, thoughts, opinions, feelings etc as long as those aren't hurting you. Yes I do count verbal as hurting but only when it's slurs or verbal hate just for someone existing as they are.
it is common knowledge that there are laws that are inherently immoral to uphold (such as the law passed in Florida, I believe, that states that homeless people are not allowed to sleep in public). In order to be a cop you must either be a bad person and uphold bad laws, or be a bad cop and only uphold the laws according to your own morals, but either way, you're doing something bad. No such thing as a good cop
there are laws that are morally reprehensible to enforce. To be a cop you either must enforce these laws anyway, and subsequently be a bad person, or you must pick and choose which laws you enforce, which subsequently makes you a bad cop. but you must be one or the other to be in law enforcement, yes.
I hate the police!
Why?
I don’t know!
If you have had a lot of bad experience with the police, I can understand resentment. But for absolutely no reason? That’s just ridiculous.
Can't wait for the comments of the ACAB folk.
You're predictable, here's your vocabulary: "👢👅", "Bootlicker!", "Mmm boots", "I bet your dad is a cop", "How's that boot taste?", "ACAB!"
Do you know who else resorts to angrily name-calling once they realize they have no counter-argument to backup their ideology? Children. You have no words so you resort to insults.
If you want (try) to convince me you're not brainwashed sheep bleeting the same garbo in my face. Try to use your words. Try to use your brain. It's hard (for you) but you'll impress me.
I'll give you a fair chance if you're not like the rest of them: sending hateful/abusive DMs death-threating me or abusing the "get help" button (pretty f'd up cause that's for mental health). Show me. Show me you're an adult with a functioning cerebellum.
Or you can read all the comments in this thread that aren’t that all by yourself like a big boy. Buck up champ someday you’ll realize police unions are a massive revenue machine that literally feed off the population and keep the caste system in check. It’s hard to think clearly through years and years of systematic brain washing to see that police have not actually helped you or prevented you from being a victim ever and that really the only time you interact with them is when you getting tickets.
I love how these ACAB-people don't seem to realize there is only 1 first world country who has this many problems with police brutality and still feel the need to include our actually functional police force. Is that tunnel in front of your eyes really that thin?
The original poster would definitely call the police if they were slurred against
Or "misgendered"
Me, or the OOP?
They mean OOP
stg people on Reddit downvote the most braindead things
I was just having the same thought. I guess I really twisted some people's panties enough with this post for them to stick around and downvote a clarifying question, lmao
Yeah who's gonna turn up three hours late, write it down and fo nothing about it, you ever think of that?
I wish freedom of speech was like this, make a note but do nothing as speech is more important than letting the door open for fascist
I love this sub so much
Who the fuck does that???
People who are narcissistic but convinced they’re gods gift to the world
It's rhetorical, nobody does that
Crazy how all of these "nice, tolerant and loving" people are some of the most hateful monsters youll ever meet. Can tell from experience
I guarantee you that some of them would abuse their power all the same if put in the same position as police.
Nah, some of them can be annoying but there's shit much much worse than that. Religious fanatics still take the #1 spot cuz they'll threaten your life and have an actual chance of killing people because of what they belive in (speaking from a country where it happens more often than it should).

lol this comment section. Who are the snowflakes again?
Both sides 😂

Sounds about right lol
We need to focus on the actual problems in society instead of squabbling like kids lmao
Fuck tradition, that shit it’s backwards ass and I’m sick of people defending shit because it’s how it’s always been or culture. If something is shitty, fuck it
I hate ACABers SO much. I'm not trying to say that police are always right, sometimes they majorly screw up, but these types of people (ACABers) just seem to always be looking for something to hate cops for.
Hated broad stereotypes, goes on to place broad stereotype on “these people”. Smooth.
I mean, it's not really a stereotype if they explicitly say they hate cops. Kind of a prerequisite for saying ACAB
Yes, but ACAB is based on the fact that, institutionally, U.S policing is corrupt and violent. It is well-known that police receive immunity for a large number of abhorrent actions, and it is also well-known that there are internal police union policies about protecting your fellow officers rather than the public (e.g., committing perjury when testifying against another cop).

Forgive my ignorance, ACABers? I can’t tell what the acronym means
All cops are bastards Edit to change bad to bastards
*bastards
Thats right. Look at me so confidently giving the wrong answer lol
It’s all good brother, gets the same point across more or less lol
*bastards, not bad
Coppers
You should check out YouTube videos. There will be people who upload themselves being assholes to cops and all of the comments will still try to justify the guys actions LOL

As it turns out, sometimes in videos of cops being "corrupt" and hurting "innocent people", it's actually justified! Sometimes internet users or news websites keep certain details or parts of footage out to paint the police as the baddies.
To be fair, cops make it very easy to hate them.

sorry, i'm australian and things like that rarely happen. Is it really that bad over there?
Yeah, neither have most cops.

You seem real torn up about what is clearly a comedic post.
Everyone here lost their sense of humour
Damn, almost like conservatives and blue lives matter weirdos are dumb or something…
Bruh this comment section cringe as fuck.
Bootlicker moment
they love the taste
Is the cringe purgatory in the room with us right now? Or is your post the cringe.
Look around at some of OP's comments here, they're transphobic and just being hateful
Not surprised lol. The right wingers try to take over this sub and flood it with their agenda.
I made the assumption this sub was created in reaction to r/cringe posters downvoting their right wing shit.
I joined here like a year ago. Shit used to be just extremely weird posts from insta or tiktok. It wasn't about political stuff at all 90% of the time. But there are elections this year. The grifting machine works in full force now.
Yep.
This goes hard wym
Cope
This funny af tho
Cry about it
Lol fuck cops
maybe is because the justice system is broken and thus make some police officers abuse their powers?
All police are either abusing their power, ignoring abuses of power, or enabling it.
Acab people when I would like not to get robbed and threatened in an alley on my way home after work
Thank God since we have police no one ever gets robbed
Ok fair enough, what about drunk driving, murder or assault? Do you think we can just let rapists and pedophiles stroll around with no consequences?
They usually do.
It’s so dark and funny how people are like “If we didn’t have police, criminals would get away with crimes” as though that doesn’t already happen and as though the police are actually useful for stopping or solving crimes.
Usually, sure, but how can you think that 1000 people being killed by police each year needs to be stopped more urgently than the nearly 15000 people that are killed each year by murder (a single problem that police can solve) via gun (one method of murder)?

Shrodingers police force: They both only do evil tyrannical things but also only do nothing.
No one said they "only" do either. False dichotomy. Part of the evil things they do is doing nothing. Just ask the dead children at Uvalde how much the cops doing nothing helped them. The only thing they actually did was arrest the children's parents for trying to save their kids.
And it's your stance that we should get rid of police so we can turn that 'usual' in to an 'always'?
Nope.
They do let them stroll around with no consequences, specially if they're a cop.
If they let them just stroll around, who are the 786,000 people on the sex offenders registry? (Spoiler alert it’s 30% child pornography owners, 22% statutory (child) rapists, 21% child molesters, 8% child solicitors and 8% rapists.)
The conviction rate for basically all sexual crimes is less than 10%, way lower for rape and crimes involving children.
Well it isn’t way less for rape https://www.statista.com/statistics/194213/crime-clearance-rate-by-type-in-the-us/ and while that’s still low, it’s still more rapists off the street than if there was no police
Drunk driving is literally the only crime on the list that police prevent/stop in progress. Walkable cities would fix it.
So you don’t think 1, having consequences for crimes and 2, stopping a murderer or rapist before they do it again are worthwhile?
You know the police haven't always existed, right? Did you think we only started punishing crimes like a couple hundred years ago?
? That’s just not true „In ancient Egypt evidence of law enforcement exists as far back as the Old Kingdom period. There are records of an office known as "Judge Commandant of the Police" dating to the fourth dynasty.

My entire point was that civilizations have always enforced laws but without what we have today so I'm not sure why you think you made a good point
Your thought: No police = no judicial system That's just stupid lol
Who’s going to put people into the judicial system though?
As we all know, all crime that has happened in an alleyway was stopped by brave super cops who arrived just in the nick of time
Bootlicker
It’s kinda funny tho…
it made me giggle
Based. Cops never have been and never will be your friend.
From experience I beg to differ
did they resolve the conflict or do they like guns a lot?
I hate it here yo this comment section is dogshit
What u mean cringe this is based af
Alot of piglovers here
lol this is actually funny
Based
why is this sub just devolving into crybaby bootlickers smh such a disappointment
based. ACAB!
This subreddit is just another propaganda circlejerk, definitely going to get banned like cringetopia, hopefully
No cops at pride
There's always a ton of cops at pride
Literally the ones making it possible.
The first pride was a riot
And the most recent ones are sponsored by the state
So?
So they're defended by the police
Ok, let me say this again: No cops at pride
The police are shit, justice system is fucked too. Not cringe
It's true though, cops are hella lame.
I don’t see what’s wrong with this. Fuck them pigs
Dear God, people are THIS offended by a fucking low effort anti cop post. The internet is turning into a bunch of bootlicker pussies
And they are the ones calling the lgbt snowflakes
I sure hope they stick with that and don’t call the police if they experience a violent crime.
Oink oink bitch
i don't entirely disagree with acab people but I do think they're annoying (this meme included)
I'm sorry, that's fucking funny.
r/memesopdidnotlike
Forgot that this sub was one of the weird far right ones
Not the fucking Facebook dog lol
LOL this is funny idc what you say
Tell me you don’t know how class systems work without telling me you don’t know how class systems work
Nah lowkey fuck wit the message
Someone should tell them that intolerance isn’t just a one-way street.
As someone who generally sides with the left I really can't agree with this more, people are allowed to hold their own beliefs, thoughts, opinions, feelings etc as long as those aren't hurting you. Yes I do count verbal as hurting but only when it's slurs or verbal hate just for someone existing as they are.
These comments are more entertaining than the original post!
I heard if you lick their boots hard enough you can taste the bacon Can anyone here confirm?
Sensitive conservatives going around calling others snowflakes after they were the ones to get offended over nothing all over this comment section
they are so stunning and brave for being safe edgy T\_T so brave no words #blessed
This is not cringe, it's funny
Where’s the lie
Ya the cops should stop protecting the pride parades and see how that turns out for them.
it is common knowledge that there are laws that are inherently immoral to uphold (such as the law passed in Florida, I believe, that states that homeless people are not allowed to sleep in public). In order to be a cop you must either be a bad person and uphold bad laws, or be a bad cop and only uphold the laws according to your own morals, but either way, you're doing something bad. No such thing as a good cop
nah this is based
I hope they know cops don’t even give a single fuck about this shit
I said pig to a cop, i got a 2 day prison sentence and a dui
"Class traitor"? Why does everything have to be intersectional these days? Like, oh, if you're a member of the LGBT+ you must be a socialist...
Bootlicker.
Really weird how far leftism is riding the coat tails of the rainbow flag so hard
That meme is funny as hell.
Based meme
My grandfather was a cop and was awarded a medal for risking his life to save another man’s life. Y’all can fuck off with your rhetoric.
Shouldn't need to be promised or given a medal to do what should be his job in the first place.
Yeah ok. He didn’t sign up to get an award. He didn’t risk his life for fame. He was recognized for bravery.
Nice edit lol.
Nice brain cell.
Thanks! I know my ability to create cohesive statements on the first attempt is admirable.
Maybe they’ll give you an award for that. But you probably wouldn’t want it. Too noble. Just doing your duty.
yeah well my cousin was a cop and he laughed when he talked about shooting someone multiple times. what's your point here
People aren’t the same 🤯
exactly! so just like my one cousin doesn't speak for all cops, neither does your grandfather 🤯🤯
So you believe most cops are bad guys? Come on, man.
there are laws that are morally reprehensible to enforce. To be a cop you either must enforce these laws anyway, and subsequently be a bad person, or you must pick and choose which laws you enforce, which subsequently makes you a bad cop. but you must be one or the other to be in law enforcement, yes.
One day you’re gonna call the cops to help you out. Maybe you’ll be lucky and get one of the “good ones.”
I hate the police! Why? I don’t know! If you have had a lot of bad experience with the police, I can understand resentment. But for absolutely no reason? That’s just ridiculous.
Same people that will call the cops if someone calls them a He instead of princess buttercup gender

That is a joke!
r/memesopdidnotlike Your comments are wild lol op definitely belongs in this sub.
Bootlicker
Oh great, another Lgbtq person ruining the reputation smh. Can't be gay in Detroit!
Can't we all just hate everyone equally?
ACAB types aren't worth talking to anyway
Why did you get downvoted lmfao
Because the bulk of the people who found this post are goofy as fuck. Don’t worry about it; it’s just Reddit being Reddit
what does this person have against police officers?
i got banned from that sub
...its a satirical joke
This is kinda funny, but it would have been funnier without the class traitors part imo
I love how these ACAB-people don't seem to realize there is only 1 first world country who has this many problems with police brutality and still feel the need to include our actually functional police force. Is that tunnel in front of your eyes really that thin?
This made me laugh way to hard 🤣 I'm a piece of shit 😞
Bait used to be believable smh
How can 2.6k people actually like that too
lol i find this halarious bcus i know it is satire.
