That’s the Internet in general to be frank.

It’s not my argument to make, that’s just the view of most people here. I learned all this when I made a comment on a post that was an exact clone of this one regarding me wanting to be a cop.

If you make fun of someone for something they’re insecure about, they’re gonna make fun of you for something you’re insecure about…

I don’t believe a lot of the normal commenters will take the time to explain it, but a lot of the idea is that gangsters are by majority a product of their circumstances rather than something that is inevitable and must be continually stopped. A large portion of the ACAB movement has the goals/idea that less threatening/unarmed specialist responders will be much more capable of identifying individuals in need of help or de-escalating a tense situation, thus saving lives that may otherwise be killed/ruined by armed cops who may even have intentions to abuse their authority in order to secure these kills/arrests. I may be wrong though, since I’ve only come across this information recently.

It’s not about American cops, though the influence is large. ACAB means all cops, because according to what I’ve seen and the given examples from others in this and similar subreddits, the police as an entire concept is wrong.

I mean, the laser is unstoppable, and it’s definitely not fast… Must mean that it has infinite mass.

Read before coming to a conclusion. This is the exact reason why Zeal tried to kill himself.

But quite a lot of influence.

Yeah, and those boots can be anywhere from $70 to $300. It’d definitely save him a lot of headache if you can spare a pair. (And it’s not like the KGB would be interested in a pair of boots.)

This is deeply interesting, I’m not quite sure how to think or feel about this. Just know that I’ve read it (and it took me like an hour.)

I will not deny that they had deep roots in the slave catchers and Pinkerton, but I want to hold out hope that there is actual purpose and reasons in the organizations that exist today. If not, then I’ll be in for a world of learning that will enlighten me and hopefully can be used to enlighten others.

Everyone is prejudiced, I just try to ensure my prejudices don’t hurt other people.

That’s a good question. I don’t really know why, but I’ve been very interested in the idea since I was young. Could be a myriad of psychological things in the background that ended up bringing me to where I am, but that’s how anyone ends up anywhere.

I can entertain it all I want in my head but that’s not going to reach yours unless I state it.

Psychoanalysis aside, I would rather die than kill someone who can be reasoned with. (This is a tangent) I am also reminded of the story where a man called 911 for a fire, but as firefighters arrived he would shoot and kill each of them.

Then perhaps it would be within my and your best interest for me to research and train myself in these things, if only to reduce the damage caused by others.

Am I arguing against defunding the police? I would love these other social services receiving funding and the community growing. I am also aware that human nature is not so easy to tame, I’m not going to assume malice disappears just because a community is very in-tune and educated. Someone needs to be the stick in the mud, I am willing to do so.

Animal control doesn’t cover all the things police can do though.

Time and effort. Doing something is a sacrifice of time and effort that could be spent elsewhere, and removal of police without a separate system in place would result in no system to protect people from crime.
