    It’s succinct not low effort.

    Be mad that we have to have such a phrase to remind us of this global phenomenon.

      I’m not mad at the fact such a phrase exists. It is very low-effort, because anyone can just type four letters on any post about police without further elaboration and gain lots of upvotes. Everyone’s already heard it before hundreds of times. It’s not like it communicates any new information.

      All it does is drown out, dilute, or distract from actual discussions about the problems with the system of policing.

        We all know the problem that is the police, there isn’t anything more the needs to be said, we need governments that are willing to act on it, they won’t - we know this as well.

        If you care so much about “dilution”, why not make a post under the ACAB one that has yes-and energy instead of hater energy? Why not use it as an opportunity to mention the problems you care about?

            And?

            You think murder is the only shitty thing cops do? Training likewise doesn’t matter when they go home and beat their partners at an above average rate.

            Shit you’re German from what I can see, I know your bastards have issues with racial profiling amongst a host of other things I’m sure.

              No, I think they also engage in futile Internet arguments.
