    A more interesting statistic to me is that police are the least likely to respond properly to a crime when it’s raining.

      It is stupidly easy to distract a pig if you want to do crime. Rain, snow, a new blizzard at DQ… they are barely trained armed gang thugs, ACAB.

        ACAB is a bit too broad of an insult.

        Let’s specify this:

        Most cops in America are bastards -> MCIAAB

        Since in Europe the police is generally better than in USA but still not perfect:

        A lot cops in Europe are bastards -> ALCIEAB

          You’re missing the point of ACAB. All cops are either bastards or they tolerate and join ranks behind the ones who are actually bastards - making them bastards as well. Whistleblower cops are not bastards, but they end up not being cops any more and often not being alive any more.

            because its a stupid ass point from a outside point of view.

            every good or neutral person joining is a win compared to a truly awful one that could have taken the spot instead.

            its just the same old bland black and white tribalism.
