    Remember though…. ACAB according to, well- the entire internet.

      This cop is a bastard. He did a good human thing, and that’s newsworthy. He also upholds, and is a member of, a group whose entire purpose is the protection of capital over human life.

      If he’s really not a bastard, he won’t be a cop for long.

        You know, racists share the exact same mindset as you. You make a blanket judgement call on the entirety of a thing, based on the actions of a minority of a thing.

        “ACAB.”

        Is the same as:

        “All black people are gangster criminals”

        They’re both ignorant blanket statements based on zero proof or evidence to support it. There are bad PEOPLE in every line of work. Law enforcement certainly attracts them a lot more than say… sanitation, but that doesn’t mean that ALL are bad.

        Educate yourself.

      To be fair, it is newsworthy when the pigs decide to do something daring and noble for a change.

        It happens more often than you think, but there’s a narrative on social media and the quota of bad cop posts must be met.
