gotta agree with you
most cops here (slovenia) actually do help the community they serve
i remember getting pissed on reddit because someone used a slovene police officer on a horse to promote ACAB while ignoring the entire backstory of the picture which contradicted their entire post
the whole world isnt the same as the US or western europe
AND BEFORE I GET CALLED A BOOTLICKER
i support neither the ACAB movement nor the corrupt cops that try their hardest to power trip over innocent people
Just a clarification:
You will not be called a "bootlicker" because you support think cops are there to protect you. That's something reasonable to believe.
You will be called a "bootlicker" because you are in support of the state, which defends the interest of those in power (aka. political class, "the rich," bourgeoisie, etc) and its soldiers, which are cops.
I mean no harm; I'm not calling you a "bootlicker." You are a decent human just sharing your experience. I want to bring "the other side" perspective in a friendly way. I was thinking like you until I was at the other end of their macanas for helping other decent people.
The ACAB is a widespread movement in South America and has good reasons to exist since it is adjacent to Antifa. But the overall reason to hate cops is based on the argument that I explained before in a very brief way.
Since I abide by the movement, I invite you to check it out so you can engage more deeply in the conversation. For a starter, I may interest you in:
- The excellent channel of Philosophy Tube (that has some fascinating videos of other topics, 10/10) and her video about How Police Make Up The Law (ft. LegalEagle) or this one Violence & Protest. Her work is highly focused on going in-depth to help you understand the arguments about various positions, such as philosophical dialogs, with a bit of theatrics to keep it interesting.
- Or if you are shorter on time and are up for some more humor, check out Thought Slime video about "All Cops are Bad" where he navigates the subject.
And sorry for not sharing other voices outside the anglosphere who cover the topic. It is just that they don't speak English, so we can't understand each other.
Take care, fellow stranger.

Pigs are pigs no matter where you are.
In Germany they regularly kill POC in "self defense" like when they shot a 16 year old kid, that was holding a knife, with an AR.
Some cops are also fascists or support other fascist actors. Like when an attorney for the victims of the fascist terror group "NSU" got threat via fax signed "NSU 2.0" her Fax number was pulled from the data in Frankfurts 1sr precinct where a bunch of Cops were working that were also in a WhatsApp group sharing Nazi memes.
And the people investigating all of this? The police of course. Like when two police precincts were investigating each other both for killing a person "in self defense".
Tl;dr: ACAB world wide
Yeah, then we have other assholes like the hunter who killed 2 officers on a routine traffic stop. Two young humans died to the dumb world views of some stupid ass reichsbürger.
Unfortunately it's always the same: All Cops Are Bastards until I need them for a crime that happened to me.
How about you creating funny content in the first place? It’s not hard you know? Less whiney more memey.
