    There are all sorts of ways to make police less shit. Maybe police should not have the means and freedom to arbitrarily apply violence. It doesn’t take much imagination to think maybe acorn cop shouldn’t have a gun.

      Regulate law enforcement.

      That’s a much more convincing and realistic way to improve law enforcementn than calling them names.

      ACAB is some insecure schoolyard taunt that doesn’t help anything or affect the social conscience.

          Other guards…this question was never as profound people thought it was.

          I teach Latin and read comic books, what are the chances a similarly socially handicapable nerd would serve me up this phrase?
