He never said that, and you have a history of defending killer cops so your opinion on what he said means little.

Yeah and you are living up to your tag too. We can play this game all day.

As Im in a quasi law enforcement role, I see law enforcement stories differently from a lot of other people, people who really show how little they understand about specifics about law enforcement, which is on so ways to ignore from an ACAB perspective. Theres a lot more grey are here then people are comfortable talking about, they only want to believe the ACAB narratives, and they refuse to see any other side of any coin.

And while Im writing this I feel the need to reiterate for the class. I believe law enforcement currently has a black eye. I think there is sufficient evidence to absolutely be hesitant of cops, the cops official stories and some evidence that comes to light. I believe bad policing puts that black eye on the entirety of the idea of policing and something needs to change.

But I also believe ACAB is complete and utter horseshit. I believe it has created a society where literally every single action of law enforcement is looked at through a lens or armchair internet wackos critiquing things they dont have the first fucking clue about. When dutifully placed officers, acting soundly and in the scope of their duties, make correct decisions, by every single metric of evidence that comes to light from a case. And you still see the amount of disinformation, spinning, reaching hostility and hatred. That again, I understand and agree completely with where all of that comes from. Its not an excuse to be completely ignorant about law enforcement and feel entitled to be judge jury and executioner yourself, at mass, on the internet. And claiming ACAB is not creating the the world you hope for. You want good police work, you have to be able to understand it when you see it. But the internet doesnt want that. They dont even want to have this conversation.

and if you think this rant is me making a point about this particular incident. Please walk away.
