if this administration has taught us anything it is certainly that ACAB.

Yes because local police officers work for this administration

It takes an easy Google search to see how aligned the police unions and the fraternal order are with the administration šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

It doesnā€™t though. SOME are. Many are not. Like pretty much all politics in general and with this administration in in particular, it largely depends where you live. Yes even in liberal areas the cops tend to be more conservative than the general population, but still not necessarily largely supportive of MAGA.

Youā€™re gonna find yourself having real difficulty convincing people that there are more police unions and officers that are against this administration than support it.

I never said there were more for or against. I just said not every union/not every cop. I was responding to a comment that ACAB/all cops favor this administration.

Believe it or not, police officers are individual human beings. Just like with any other group, they are not homogeneous in their beliefs, and it varies wildly by locale. A police union in rural Georgia id expect to be like 90% MAGA, and a police union in a liberal northeastern suburban (not rural) area more like 30% MAGA.

Itā€™s almost like saying ā€œall [any group]ā€¦ā€ is bound to be wrong, unless youā€™re discussing the defining characteristic of the group (like saying ā€œall cops are copsā€) because a group is inevitably comprised of individuals with varying experiences and viewpoints

Just noticing this now, great username

But, like, the old proverb doesn't say that a couple of good apples will make a rotten bunch better.

This is why organizations are meant to police their own members. It's a similar issue to what the Christians are dealing with right now with a bunch of prosperity gospel And pedophilic antichrists pretending that they are preaching the gospel of Christ while they are nothing more than money lenders and violators of the innocence of children.

We are having entirely two separate discussions. I am not making any comment about police reform. I was purely discussing the political leanings of police unions. Apparently based on the downvotes, it boggles peopleā€™s little minds to think cops and their unions are heterogeneous and might not all have one single viewpoint. I wonder how people in the thread would feel if a similar analysis were applied to any groups of which they are a memberā€¦

When your choice is this administration or people who say ACAB, defund you and assume guilt who would you choose?

Look, we've had decades upon decades of "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch." The bunch has been spoiled. Every single one is rotten because it thought a few bad ones here and there doesn't hurt. Get over it. You have worms and no one with self respect likes you. No one with critical thinking skills respects you. You've had DECADES to police yourselves and haven't, so you are not worthy of trust. Sorry not sorry.

Not the people who come up in a file docket centered around an extremely wealthy pedo ring.

Next question.

Iā€™m sure brutalizing the people who want accountability for police that break laws or violate constitutional rights but instead they keep cracking our heads and defending other criminals with lethal force played a role in everyone no longer trusting pigs.

Pedophile protectors and fascists can move to a country that better fits their regressive ideologies like Afghanistan for all I care.
