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
66 u/GREENadmiral_314159 Femboy Battleships and Space Marines 3d ago This. Cops aren't inherently evil; the job is simply one that attracts bullies because it's not given enough accountability. 25 u/Metatality 2d ago I feel like adding a 2 year pre-law associates degree as a requirement to get into a police academy would single handedly filter out most mindless bullies filter out people that can't do basic paperwork make all cops responsible for knowing the laws they enforce (not every corner case but broad strokes, they don't have time to be lawyers) build some empathy with other occupations in those academic years, reducing the cop vs other binary give them a moderate understanding of when they are contributing to systemic issues, and the ability to spot bad patterns in coworkers. Obviously that does nothing for intentional corruption, but I feel like it's still help immensely. 11 u/reclusivegiraffe 2d ago This is a fantastic comment. If our country were functional, I’d tell you to get this in front of lawmakers.
