It's not quite ACAB, but it is close enough that I do a double take every time I see it.
Is that Spanish?
No i am building my own language with blackjack and hookers

Asthmatic Cat Acrobatic Bitches
this is how I read it before someone told me the acronym
What is the acronym ?
The intended use is All Cops Are Bad.
But I never read it that way. To me it's always, Assigned Cop At Birth.
Its intended use is "all cops are bastards"
... Which they are.
No. That is just not helpful at all and insulting to those people, who help others..
(They don't help anyone, they enforce the law. Which is just a set of rules that the powerful enforce on the masses via the threat of violence)
Generalizations never help.. There may be bad police men. In some countries more, in others less. But there are definitely many nice police men who help keeping our societies safe. There are also countries, where police is known as "your friend and helper"
You think anarchy is better?
This is just some extremist facism bullshit and stupid.
If "good cops" actually existed and did their jobs, they would arrest the perpetrators of corruption and there wouldn't be any "bad cops". Given that bad cops are still quite prevalent we can deduce that good cops are a myth or are so few in number as to be irrelevant.
Therefore ACAB
Some cops might help others as a hobby when they're not busy, but that's not what they're paid for. Cops are paid primarily to enforce bourgeois property rights and maintain the government, which in much of the English speaking world is a monarchy and/or a colony. Cops are soldiers in a war against the people.
You wanna overthrow the government? This is just a stupid take
Yes, I do. This land belongs to the indigenous people, not to King Charles. I want to abolish the dictatorship.
But that still doesn't mean that all cops are bastards because you are talking about your specific country...
ACAB is just a public relations term
