I hate LEOs...ACAB.

Thanks. While I think I agree with the overall sentiment expressed in the meme, stating it this way just plays into the conservative paranoia that crime is way up and violence is increasing. The only major category of crime that's up is vehicle theft.

If we want to effectively combat all the misinformation and right-wing fear rhetoric we have to be consistent, and on the same page with putting truthful information in our own rhetoric.
