    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?
