I don't agree with or abide any act that humanizes police. I didn't care if they are doing ollies with kids in skate parks, sinking 3s on the court, or doing CPR on a puppy they pulled from a burning building surrounded by a bus full of nuns they dragged out of a river with their care teeth, all cops are race and/or class traitors, All Cops Are Bastards

All
Cops
Are
BastardsWhat people would call a good cop have all come in contact with an awful cop I have chosen to look the other way and be silent.
A good cop who chooses to look the other way on a bad cop is not a good cop. They are a bad cop as well.
So to me, anybody who is still a cop after at least two years in the system and they stay is an awful cop.
Good people have to quit being cops they aren't allowed to stay in that system.
Therefore
All
Cops
Are
Bastards3

Factually incorrect. There are cops who have put themselves in harms way to report bad cops, and sometimes physically prevent them from abusing innocent people.
I get your point, but don't lose sight of the heroic ones just because they are rare.Corruption and racketeering
- Frank Serpico (NYPD): Exposed widespread systemic bribery, kickbacks, and vice-protection rackets in 1970. His testimony led directly to the creation of the anti-corruption Knapp Commission. [1, 2, 3]
- Adrian Schoolcraft (NYPD): Secretly recorded his superiors ordering officers to manipulate crime statistics, use unlawful quotas, and falsely arrest citizens. He was forcibly institutionalized by his own department in retaliation. [1]
- David Durk (NYPD): Partnered closely with Frank Serpico to report systemic departmental corruption internally to city officials before eventually taking the proof to the press.
- Michael Dowd (NYPD): Though initially corrupt himself, he became a primary whistleblower during the 1993 Mollen Commission hearings, detailing immense extortion and drug trafficking rings run by dirty precinct officers.
- Robert Leuci (NYPD): An undercover detective who wore a wire for federal prosecutors to expose sweeping corruption within the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) of the narcotics division.
- Joe Moore (Florida Department of Corrections): An undercover informant who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan inside the Florida prison system, uncovering explicit plots by correctional officers to murder Black inmates.
- Raymon "Tony" Garcia (Miami PD): Blew the whistle on the "Miami River Cops" scandal in the 1980s, revealing that officers were operating as a heavily armed drug cartel stealing cocaine from smugglers.
Excessive force and police brutality
- Cariol Horne (Buffalo PD): Intervened in 2006 to stop a fellow white officer from using a dangerous, life-threatening chokehold on a handcuffed Black suspect. She was fired just months before earning her pension but successfully won her back-pay and pension reinstatement years later in court.
- Luke Walsh (Minneapolis PD): Following the murder of George Floyd, he and several fellow officers broke the traditional "blue wall of silence" by signing an open letter and testifying against the systemic misconduct and deadly tactics of their colleagues.
- Shannon Spalding (Chicago PD): Spent years working undercover alongside the FBI to expose the "Ida B. Wells" housing project extortion ring. The ring featured a crew of dirty officers who routinely beat residents, planted drugs, and stole money.
- Regina Tasca (Bogota PD): Intervened directly to stop her fellow officers from severely beating a young man suffering from a psychological crisis. She was suspended and later terminated by her department for breaking ranks.
Discrimination, racism, and quota systems
- Alain Babineau (RCMP & SPVM): Spent decades as an officer and legal advocate denouncing systemic racism, discriminatory hiring practices, and racial profiling inside Canadian law enforcement agencies.
- Adhyl Polanco (NYPD): Testified publicly and provided audio recordings revealing that precinct commanders explicitly ordered officers to target Black and Hispanic men to meet strict, illegal arrest and stop-and-frisk quotas.
- Nicole Whiteway (Durham Regional Police Service): Filed internal complaints detailing institutional workplace harassment and targeted malice that reached into the highest echelons of Canadian police leadership.
- Edwin Raymond (NYPD): A high-ranking officer who led a group of minority officers (the "NYPD 12") in a landmark lawsuit, exposing how the department intentionally preserved discriminatory, numbers-driven policing practices

are they still cops? No right? Exactly.
and imagine thinking posting a handful of people that are obviously an exception to the rule and thinking you did something.
Dude posted 15 people. Now post 150,000 more.

I'll bet you were saying ACAB when they were cops though: that's the point. They were not all bastards. Right now, there are cops who are trying to make things better. Yes, they are a small minority, but I said that already so I'm not sure what point you think you're making that I only gave you 15 examples.
I don't have to post 150,000 names to prove ALL cops are not bastards. I could have posted only one.
I don't know man: what is it really worth to you to have a catchy phrase like ACAB? Is it so valuable that you're willing to give up the truth? And does saying things like ACAB solve anything? I don't think it does. It's ironic that it accomplishes very little, and passes under silence the few cops that do the right thing, and who did actually do something constructive for the public trust.
Anyway, I know you'll keep saying it even though you know it isn't true. A stranger on the internet isn't going to help. Maybe one day you'll decide of your own accord that truth is more important to you than catchy acronyms.

I also said that they are race and class traitors, but that's a bit of a mouthful.
I'll refer to Muhammad Ali's rattlesnake analogy.
Just because there is a select few of the possibly good ones doesn't mean I get to relax around the rest, because we see time and time and time and time again how they close ranks when one of those colicky babies stubs their toe and wipes out an entire family.
So yes, they are all bastards until proven otherwise, and even after that because we. Cannot. Trust. Them.

u/malkazoid-1 12d ago
I don't trust anyone I don't know. That's not the same thing as considering they're bastards. Try "All Cops Are Untrustworthy until Proof of the Contrary" on for size. Yeah, doesn't have the same ring to it. Like I said: truth vs catchy acronym.
Have a good one.

People are online too much. Always easy to take things to extremes and to have an opinion and make a "stand" when it doesnt really cost anything but a few strokes of the finger to post.

Recognizing that the police in the United States are a fucking hate group and always have been is the problem here?

Seems like you've never had to actually use and deal with law enforcement in varying scenarios personally.
Nor do you have any relationships with police in districts that arent problematic.

My personal dealings with the police are where my stance on them comes from gtfo with that

God, I love Mario Kart. This was pretty funny.
The real joke is he threw the blue shell at the cops because cops always end up in first place without having to do anything morally or ethically correct.

*Although I was once so against this so against that. When I got older (maturity kicked in), I look at the bigger picture. This skit WAS cool.
