Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The point of ACAB is to claim that ALL police are bastards because they all allow some to be as bad as they are. Everyone is aware there are good people.

They are in a position of power and thus should be capable using that power for self governance. Except, they don't. How often does a cop blatantly break the law and murder a civilian with no repercussions? If they are going to investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing and never improve, then ACAB.
