I am pretty angried by this response. Yes, ACAB is 100% true but that doesn't also mean any negative narrative is automatically true either.
I think we should believe true things and not false things
And fuck it really is embarrassing I have to say this on this website goddamn. Maybe this site is too addicted to outrage slop.
there is absolutely nothing in this video or the surrounding news stories that even suggest we need to give the pigs the benefit of the doubt for a second, lib
truth isnt something you glean by doing the bullshit of "we need more context" which weve seen racists and fash pull over and over and over again in regards to cops killing people and brutalizing marginalized communities
you talk about truth but in my experience assuming the worst of the police, especially those of the western world, has served me well in unveiling the truth in 98% of cases and this will be no diferent
edit: oh look heres a released statement from the pigs. you were wrong to give them the benefit of the doubt the guy committed no crime
"He has since been released with no further action."
"Enquiries found the bat was bought the previous week, but no intent could be proven and therefore no crime was committed. Our Professional Standards Directorate has reviewed the footage, and no misconduct has been identified."
