Alt text: a screenshot of a microblog post with the text “you walking down an alleyway with a gram of weed in your pocket, who would you rather catch you?” Below are two pictures side by side. One of Kamala Harris and the other of Batman.

    Do you have anything of value to contribute to the discussion, or is your sole issue that Kamala Harris has not ever actually served on a police force?

      If somehow not serving on a police force makes you a cop then I guess we’re all bastards.

      And yes, that’s really my sole issue. I didn’t think it was going to be controversial to point out that she wasn’t a cop.

        You do understand that we say “ACAB” because it’s catchier than “I dislike the so-called justice system that does nothing but destroy lives for the state, and that includes cops, lawyers, prosecutors, etc.”, (IDTSCJSTDNBDLFTSATICLPE) right?

        I bet you also say things like “You can’t call everyone you don’t like a nazi, the nazi party ended decades ago!”

        I say this with all the kindness in my heart, please log off and go outside.

          Speak for yourself 🤷‍♂️ some of us are particularly focused on the cop problem in ACAB. The legal/judicial system has its own relevant but distinct issues that not all of us will agree on.
          Her record as a DA deserves scrutiny and critique but she is concretely not a cop and never was. She was not a police officer. Calling her a cop muddies the waters. I guarantee you there are people who think she was literally a police officer which is not true.

            What about cops could you possibly dislike that doesn’t also apply to a DA and AG who pushed for false convictions and refused medical care to trans prisoners?

            Harris isn’t a cop in the same way Trump isn’t a member of the Fascist party. Do you have a problem with people calling Trump a fascist?

              There is no formal “Fascist Party” so this is not the “own” you think this is. It’s not a parallel situation at all.

              The Republican party is fascist. He is a fascist and a part of the fascist party. Fascist is a noun or adjective, not a party in the US, so he can be called one.

              So no, I don’t object.

                Nah, the shit take is being reddit level pedantic in order to bootlick, you know very well what we mean by “{insert shitbag} is a cop”

                Kamala “Oink Oink Piggy Piggy Pig Fuck” Harris fucked over trans prisoners, kept prisoners with ‘jobs’ in past the end of their sentence, & covered for corrupt cops & prosecutors and now calls her carrier progressive.

                The truth is the two parties are closer on most issues then people like to think & every dem president in my lifetime has cracked down on brown immigrants to use them as a scapegoat for socialeconomic problems the political class dosen’t want to deal with & dems are perfectly down with packing prisons with people who broke bullshit law to use as slave labor, that’s pretty fascy in my book.
