ACAB. But i agree if only to not have the wind knocked out of my sales because the 40% are domestic abusers is weak and especially easily countered in an argument on why ACAB. And its a weak argument that is wholly unnecessary to establish ACAB.
Yeah, agreed. There are tons of valid reasons to criticize the police (or, I would say, demand accountability from them in keeping with the amount of power they're granted by the legal system). But just framing something deliberately slanted because you want to make them look as bad as possible doesn't seem like a good addition to that list though.
It is all their cops beating their spouses that in fact make them look bad, not our framing of the beating of spouses by cops.
Yes the 40% number cannot be confirmed, but I think the number is much higher based on literally every interaction I have had with police especially white male police.
Like y’all seriously gonna bet on the number of cops who beat their spouses and family as being under 40%? I am sure they dont consider it abuse, heck as they backhand their spouse as hard as they can for not doing the dishes they are probably always thinking in their head “I mean I slammed the police car door on the head of drugged out homeless person way harder just today and the homeless person didn’t complain like this, this is normal, my spouse is just weak and needs to be punished until they harden up”
