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
Rolls right of the tongue
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.
