That’s simply idiotic.

You've seriously never heard ACAB before?

You could become a cop with some training. Would you become a bastard?

Yes.

If someone breaks into your home, who you’re gonna call?

Yes, you call the fucking police, you donkey. just like I can criticize public roads but still drive on them. until a better system is in place, I will use the ones we have.

Police protect the interests of capital. They make the law by enforcing the law. They are over militarized and over protected, have zero accountability as an institution, and have an inherently racist past that remains racist.

Fuck all cops, especially the good ones who watch bad shit happen.

Last time I tried to call the cops, They took 6 hours to show up, and harassed and threatened me because the one that pulled a gun on me didnt decide to camp out and wait for them to come and arrest them.

Cops literally have gone to court to fight for the right to not be held accountable for failing to do their job.

They don't give a single fuck about you, except for how much they can hurt you..physically and legally, without getting in trouble or getting caught on camera.

But if you get accused of stealing 25 cents from walmart, they'll be there inside of 2 minutes with a swat team to bust your ass to the floor so hard you end up with a fractured skull.
