I firmly stand by ACAB, at first sure I was skeptical - how can you group all cops together like that. But all the good work is cancelled out by the fact that they choose to work for a system that is heavily flawed and built up on racial motives. They choose to work for a system that covers up its wrongdoings. They choose to work for a system that forces brutality on innocent people. There’s no forgiving that.

Totally disagree @ blaming the guy at the shop at all, he might've been angry that it was a shoplifting attempt thinking the guy was lying to him and wanted the police to sort it. Maybe he shouldn't have bothered calling but it was fine to do. He didn't know this cop would end up murdering George for no reason. :bored:

"Built up on racial motives" there are racial motives but can't agree with being built up on them.. and that is a bold assumption to make especially considering black cops are in the wrong too and there's black-on-white, white-on-white injustices too. "Cover up wrongdoings" I think this is the biggest thing which the police force do way too much of in support of each other and that's just wrong. When someone does wrong, they deserve punishment and justice to the victim(s)

Well, it's not untrue. It's like when all of the abuse that goes on in Hollywood was rising to the surface, all of the people that knew things and kept quiet were complicit in the abuse. People have all kinds of reasons for staying quiet ranging from not wanting to lose their jobs, money and status to even more sinister motives but either way silence is complicity.

People are individuals - one policeman isn't every policeman. Thank god those men at least could see that.

Maybe none of their colleagues did anything terrible :shrug:

It's a shame you have such a caustic view of the police. If there were was many murderers in their ranks as you make it sound like, there would be thousands and thousands of murders at their hands.

No bother, but then maybe don’t encourage others to do something you are unable to commit to personally especially in an area you don’t live in

So he’s not allowed an opinion?

It’s a bit naive and also insulting to say the majority of police are racist/Corrupt because of the small minority
