I feel like that's missing the point of ACAB.
The problem with cops is that there are good cops who generally behave well and genuinely want to serve and protect their communities. The reason they're still bastards is because of the unions that they keep (and support). They have some bad apples, and not removing them from the bunch means the bunch gets spoiled.
They are law enforcement, enforce the law. No exceptions.
The ones that do, aren't cops for long.
Yes, I agree completely. I was just explaining that it's not ACAB because literally all cops are out there getting away with extrajudicial beatings. It's ACAB because they don't throw out the bad apples (aka. don't report bad cops)
