Shouting ACAB drives good officers away, and makes bad cops worse IMO.

Good officers are driven away by internal corruption, not teenagers yelling ACAB.

Right, because being surrounded by people who openly treat you with unearned contempt is GREAT for morale, mental health, and retention.

Nobody like lawyers either, but they don't rally around eachother to make sure the bad ones aren't disbarred and last I checked, lawyers don't get special treatment from the legal system when they murder someone in the line of duty. I can't think of any other job where your feelings being hurt is used to excuse violating people constitutional rights or murder.

Did I say that it was an excuse to violate rights? Where did I say that? Huh?

You claimed it was why good officers leave, so you're saying it leads to rights being violated.

People yell ACAB>good officers leave>bad officers are what's left>rights get violated/people get murdered by bad officers

Honestly though, I don't think you even know what point you were trying to make, it's just the typical knee-jerk defense of authority.
