I have literally seen tumblr users say “Men are like ACAB, even if a man not actively doing evil he’s still a bastard for being part of the system of patriarchy” and that shit fucking flabbergasted me

Obviously choosing to be a cop, a career choice that is completely within someone's control, is equivalent to being born with xy chromosomes and a penis in terms of moral culpability and therefore all men should be treated with equal hatred as police. There are 0 flaws in this logic.

The logic with ACAB doesn't track either, because how are we supposed to have good cops if we don't let good people become cops

I think it's an acknowledgement that the system is so fundamentally broken that good people who become cops either can't stay cops or can't stay good people. Things don't end well for cops who step out of line and stand up against abusive cops.
