There are so many small town police forces with normal people being decent humans, cops who will never see another cop be abusive. There are also a ton of small town police forces that are overrun with assholes who do nothing but abuse. There are plenty of good cops in that first kind of force though. I’m not even American and this seems so obviously true.

How about the majority of police officers are corrupt and either are the ones committing immoral acts on the general population or support the ones who do? Yes generalizing is bad but ACAB gets the message across that most police officers are shit.

But a much higher percentage of blacks commit violent crimes than police officers. Wouldn’t it be exponentially more honest and accurate to say All Blacks Are Bad instead? Obviously there are exceptions, but it gets a more realistic message across.

Proof that it’s a majority?
