I don't think "ACAB" is a great credo, and it's probably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don't dehumanise cops, most of them really are trying to help.

Most cops will do nothing to stop the bad cops, and as we all know, one bad apple spoils the bunch.

Look at their focus, it’s always on more powers with less oversight.

it's probably a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Claims without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Show me evidence that being critical of police causes an increase in police violence (other than police targeting and beating people critical of them), over reach of powers, of increased police lobbying for more powers and less oversight and we can talk.
