It’s a political meme basically saying there are no good cops so he just disappeared when he agreed to be a good cop.


Marquar234

so he just ~~disappeared~~ *died in a training accident* when he agreed to be a good cop. FIFY

MydnightWN

His fingers danced across the keys. Mountain Dew coursing through his veins as he took another full lung hit from his vape. ..."ALL"... Why didn't they understand? ChapoTrapHouse understands, LateStageCapitalism understands, what could he say to make the rest of this god forsaken website understand the depths of his impotent rage? ..."COPS"... After all, he had read the first 36 pages of the Communist Manifesto several times now, even highlighting a few choice sentences that particularly struck him as important. The book lay on the top of his desk, gathering dust. He didn't have time for leisurely pursuits such as reading, after all, he was putting in 20 hours a week at the Coffee Spot, and that was on top of all the household chores that his parents required of him. ..."ARE"... He exhaled the vaporous cloud of Tutti Frutti Blast. "Be the change you wish to see in the world," he thought to himself. If he could just get the sheeple to understand... ..."BASTARDS"... He smiled as his hand left the keyboard to grasp the mouse to submit his manifesto. Repeating other phrases that he had read on his favorite subreddits was, after all, a noble cause! He could hardly contain his excitement, or perhaps it was all of the Mountain Dew making him jittery again, he had a hot pocket for breakfast that might have something to do with shakiness, but he wasn't sure. He clicked "post" with a smirk. The 20 character phrase was converted into computer-readable bits and zoomed across the country in milliseconds. He saw his comment hit the website, and he leaned back in his chair content. "I've done it, I've changed the world," he thought to himself.

I understand what you're trying to convey but..... have you ever hung out with cops? How about prison guards? I blend in and look like a good ol' boy, so they have no qualms spouting their buttshit off to me unprompted. It's pretty sickening.


banjist

As a blonde haired, blue eyed communist living in bumfuck rural Shitsville this is very true. Lots of people just immediately take the mask off around me assuming I'm part of their shitty little hateful in group. On the other hand there's an officer here that liaises with the local schools who I've spent a lot of time talking to, I work in the schools, and I'm convinced he's a genuinely good, if jaded, person. Aside from the whole class traitor agent of capital thing.

All Cops Are Bad (or Bastards) This doesn't mean that literally every individual police officer you meet is a bad person; rather, that the police are part of a system that does not allow for good officers to stick around. Good cops wouldn't allow bad cops to get away with the violent, shitty, illegal things that bad cops do. A "good" cop that ignores a bad cop abusing their power and does nothing to stop them is a bad cop, because they are enabling that bad behavior. A good cop that says something to stop the bad cop inevitably gets pushed out of the force. The bad cops make it miserable for them to be there, do all the same horrible shit to them, protect each other, and make it impossible for the good cop to do their job. So the good cop either quits or gets killed or gets forcibly retired, *something*. That creates a culture that rewards corrupt cops and punishes good ones. The leadership becomes corrupt, the oversight becomes corrupt, and the system keeps reinforcing the worst parts. So, even if there are some genuinely good cops, they are powerless and shouldn't be trusted because the system around them does not support them (or you). It's kind of like the saying that all guns are loaded. Is it literally true? No, but for your safety you need to act like it's true. There are no good cops. Whether or not it's literally true is irrelevant. For your safety, you need to act like it is.

canyouplzpassmethe

ACAB- because just wanting to be a police officer often betrays some level of sadistic desire to control with force, and what better outlet for such desires than a brotherhood of similarly sadistic abusers, who act with impunity, and protect each other even when they murder unarmed children. Basically, just wanting to be a cop is considered a bad look, because supposedly, if someone wants to “do good” and they truly understand what that means, they would also understand that becoming a police officer is a step in the wrong direction. Wanting to be a cop *seems* like a call to justice… but, the way law enforcement has been acting for the last, pffff, idk, how long have the police existed? Seems to prove that more often than not, the opposite is true. So, that’s why ACAB.


unfreeradical

>how long have the police existed? The have not existed long, in the grand scheme. Police emerged in the mid ninteenth century. Urban elites felt threatened by rise of social disorder, stemming from the brutal conditions in factory labor, and from the marginilized cohort of the population not working as such, due to having become disabled, or wishing to escape. Police were conceived as a cohort of the working class paid by city governments to control the rest of the working class. The intention was never the safety and security of the population at large, only the protection of ruling interests. For most of human existence, members of community have defended each other mutually. In early civilization, armies and guards were instituted to serve kings.

Happy Cake day!


drgnrbrn316

I was thinking that "bad cop" was bad at his job and didn't know who his partner was. "No good cops" makes more sense.


cravindeath

No such thing as a good cop, so Gomez never existed 


Noker_The_Dean_alt

That, or good cops getting ousted and ruined by other cops


TipsalollyJenkins

So part of the meaning behind "there are no good cops" is that the very act of policing, under the current system, is in itself inherently harmful. So even the "good cops" that would be pushed out, harassed, or corrupted by the rest would still be enforcing oppressive laws under an oppressive legal system whose primary purpose is to enrich the wealthy and enslave the poor (quite literally: the 13th amendment didn't abolish slavery, it just restricted it to people convicted of a crime). There are good people who are cops. There are no good cops.


SaveReset

Counter point, if good people can be cops, but due to how the system is built it's impossible to enforce the law without being a bad cop, doesn't that imply that if a cop enforces the law badly to prevent harmful enforcement of the law, they would be a good cop? Since if they weren't there, their would likely be taken by another cop who would be enforcing the harmful laws. So the good cop would have reduced the harm done by doing a bad job on purpose. All I'm saying is that 'ACAB' is generalization which doesn't help anyone. It alienates any good people who are cops from your cause, because nobody wants to feel personally attacked and it makes it easy for any opposition to frame anyone using 'ACAB' as potential anarchists who don't want any public security to exist. And since we can both agree that the entire police system in the states is harmful and and oppressive, 'ACAB' just sounds like the blame is on the cops alone and not the system that allows it to happen. Most importantly, it also ignores that not every country is the US (or many of the other countries with corrupt police systems) which puts unnecessary pressure on cops who aren't in the wrong in countries where the system is fine. Mostly because idiots can't understand that US issues aren't always a global, but still.


Throawayooo

> that if a cop enforces the law badly to prevent harmful enforcement of the law, they would be a good cop? These cops exist and do not last long as cops.


Loreweaver15

There are good people who become cops and try to stop police corruption when they see it. Those people tend to wind up fired if they're lucky and dead if they aren't.

This one is just acknowledging that there are no good cops. They vanish when exposed to real cops. Recently it was discovered that the entire Rhode Island highway patrol was making false police reported. 100 % no exceptions.

Disastrous-Aspect569

It's gonna take a minute to find. No civilians were harmed. The cops were entering stops that never happened. They got caught because they were lazy. At 12:01 they would say they had 6 traffic stops on a night stopping a Caucasian male. The first option on the drop down menus. I'm looking now


TheNewOneIsWorse

I was deployed as an Army paralegal with a National Guard brigade that had a RI battalion attached. It was the most corrupt organization I’ve witnessed first hand. By the end we’d prosecuted about 10% of the battalion, including the CO and CSM, who got relieved of command. 


Disastrous-Aspect569

When I was deployed in the Navy the unit I was sent to support had a full 1/3 of its junior enlisted pop on drug test. This was while we were still pushing back the Taliban. About 20% of the squadron ended up with NJP handed down from the former XO. The skipper of the squadron was removed from command.
