    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.
