RE: A.C.A.B. - There are no "good cops" (a more in-depth explanation of an oft-uttered assertion)

in #police7 years ago

I hear what you are saying, but think maybe you missed what I was attempting to convey. I was not casting personal judgement on each individual at all times, but pointing out that the occupation itself is morally illegitimate. A person cannot not be acting in a bad capacity while being a cop by virtue of the job description itself: follow all orders from politicians regardless of their morality or lack thereof. Police are also paid with money stolen from "taxpayers." The occupation itself is foundationally illegitimate.
