Abby is a character designed to give cops/federal agents a good PR makeover. As sweet, vulnerable, firey and lovable as she is, the reason behind her character makes her AB.
The actor doesn't appear to be a bad person through.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

ACAB includes:
- The goth chick from NCIS.
- The fuckable bunny from Zootopia.
- The cyborg lady from Ghost in the Shell.
- That cool cyborg cop from Robocop.
And many more...
It feels like Robocop spent more time fighting other law enforcement than anybody else
thats because it's about the LA riots.
So we need cops to dress like goth robo-bunny girls?
NCIS is propaganda.
All cop shows are propaganda!
What about reno 911?
Man I've been looking for shows to watch and I totally forgot about Reno 911. Thank you. Going to give that a rewatch.
Yep... copaganda.

Even Rin Tin Tin.
acab includes both bowser and blitz
I was going to say poor doggo, but its a robot doggo and AI is evil too, so its extra bad.
ACAB includes Captain Raymond Holt from Brooklyn 99.
they literally shut down the show because of BLM (as in, they didn't want to do copaganda anymore due to BLM opening their eyes)
How dare you
He is a character meant to uphold the idea that the system can be changed from within while making the police force out to be a kookie fun place.
A fun show, at least until season 5 started explaining the punchlines, but it’s not without issue.
i love brooklyn 99, and this is still true. i have another comment in this thread giving a deeper breakdown. the nypd partnered with b99 for a reason. i think at the end of the day the two messages that go out with b99, the creators and the equipment owners, the creators' messaging surrounding racial equity, found family, and queer acceptance comes across stronger than the equipment owner's messaging that not all cops are bastards. but you still have to engage with that the nypd cooperated on that show for a reason, and it's worth talking to less critical viewers about that no, sophia is not a monster, you fucking dipshits. what she says about defense attorneys is outright true, and the prevailing online opinion that she's a terrible person is not shared across the spectrum (this is literally an opinion i've only ever encountered with one real life person and with redditors at large)
They're out of line, but they are correct.
Does ACAB include police dogs?
No, the good bois are being forced to act as bad bois :(
Ehh, They're natural predators. They're training them with positive reinforcement to use their prey drive and enhanced senses to do their bidding through a reward system and pack mentality. That's not far enough away from what they're doing to cops in training to call them good bois.
That said, they're also not capable of making ethical decisions, so those treats and the dopamine hit from taking down a prey target is all they have to go on for decision-making.
I'd say they're less cops and more tools. That dog ripping into the arm of a scared young non-white man running for his life isn't exactly a good boi, no is he being forced, but he doesn't know it's wrong.

Does ACAB include judge Dred?
He is technically a judge.....
AJAB
Dunno about that one. There have been judges slipping immigrants out the back door and trying like hell to keep non-violent offenders out of prison.
Many JAB, maybe even Most JAB, but there are solid good Judges out there trying like hell to bail out the morally corrupt system. A good judge undoes the shit a previous bad judge does.
Imma be pedantic about this one: judges are not in the same part of the three separate parts of power as the police (at least commonly in democracies). Technically they are supposed to keep the cops in check and be a neutral independent instance.
In reality: most judges are bastards too if you have any qualm with the police, because that often translates to problems with state authority which includes them as well, which more often than not makes them allies to the cops.
In Dredd's universe a "Judge" is a cop, judge and executioner.
Judge Dredd is an exploration of the British and American legal tradition where the judges are not as impartial as they are presented to you. Dredd represents the lived reality that the judge is a tool of the holders of capital
