Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Proof all pigs have fucken cognitive damage.
People really have no idea the meaning their words convey.
It's not proof, it's a sample size of 1 and I'd say it's much more a display of delusion and hate than 'cognitive damage'.
You think you're helping, but you aren't.
It’s okay to let people be angry about things that should enrage everyone with a pulse. Their sentiment is 100% accurate even if their words aren’t perfectly precise.
It's not perfect precision I'm suggesting. A modicum of reality and logic is all, because by 'being angry' and making outlandish claims like that, it hurts the whole movement.
It's essentially 'Trumpism', just say whatever you want about people you don't like and present it as fact.
and every other cop on that force will back this asshole to the blue.
ACAB doesn't mean that every cop is running around raping and extorting sex from everyone; or that they're all running around killing black kids. ACAB does mean that the ones who are "good" are also protecting the ones who are bad rather than arresting them and treating their fellow cops as they would any one else.
if you show me a cop who isn't, I'll show you a cop whose not been on the job long enough to find out.
So MCAB or AACAB?
(Most / Almost All)
Was just discussing in another thread, referenced the Sith dealing in absolutes instead of using a phrase like “Policing Enables Bastards” in an attempt to be more accurate and harder to dismiss.
Nope. Cops know what they are pretty quick. It’s practically impossible to last more than a week or two without becoming a bastard.
The blue wall is real, and they don’t allow people who might break rank stick around.
Corruption in police is an everyday occurrence and you either chose to ignore it or not be a cop.
Great stats, got a source?
Thanks for your response.
Interesting you give that timeline because when I hear ACAB, a hypothetical officer comes to mind who joins a department on a Monday, blows the whistle on something corrupt and evil on Tuesday, and is forced to hand in their badge on Friday.
I want to broadcast to my fellow Americans that if:
…I will not insult you for having a disparate strategy compared to mine or the average person’s on this site.
Maybe 720,651 out of the 720,652 full-time cops in the US are baddies, but that last one who’s on probation because of some good in their heart - I choose my words carefully for them. They necessitate the three-letter acronym.
That’s nice. They won’t give you the same consideration.
By the way, the 1-2 weeks is more of a maximum, before they kill you in a “training accident” or “accidental friendly fire” because Officer Unicorn was “in the wrong place”
Yes, Officer Unicorn, sure! One can support the unicorn nature with data, so that’s a defensible phrase.
Officer Unicorn would give me the same consideration right? They’re one in a million in this hypothetical.
So, why PEB - because ACAB disrespects the good one[s*] killed “accidentally”. Maybe they were even gonna get jaded and become true class traitors one day but no need to go Minority Report on them.
*assumes at least two good officers since 1776
btw I’m not always this stubborn about semantics - maybe often but not always, thanks for engaging
You start - show me the cop.
Nah bruh you the one not helping if you trying to provide apologetics for this kind of behavior. It deserves no charity, and making the argument it does means you are the bad guy.
Nah bruh, you don't get it. You're bootlicking the antibootlickers. I've got no horse in the race, I'm just talking logic.
😂
🤡 👆
Watch out buddy boy, hard lessons are learnt like this.
If you feeling froggy, leap son.
Whoo! That was a good one. wipes tears of laughter
We should be so lucky.
the fact it happened and she wasn't helped instead shows you all you need to know. cops are dog shit. fuck them all, unempathetic ass hole bullies.
For someone claiming to know words so well you've never heard of hyperbole?
I have, yes.
Yeah, thousands of individual instances, definitely not a pattern of systemic cruelty.
Thousands of individual instances of pregnant women in labour being cited?
Again, words matter kiddies.
Agreed. Call it what you will, but this is not "cognitive damage". These pigs aren't retarded, they're doing shit like this on purpose.
Fucking thank you, someone who can see past emotion and use basic logic. The world needs more people like you
A lack of empathy can legitimately be viewed as "cognitive damage". And this is by no means an isolated case. Not even remotely.
No it's not an isolated case, but that comment is directly about this isolated case, stating it's proof against an entire profession.
Good comment - I think I'd disagree though. A lack of empathy can certainly be caused by cognitive damage but I don't think it IS cognitive damage. I could be wrong though.
It's not an isolated case, no, but this video and comment thread is.
Found the ~~bastard~~ cop.
Good try, better luck next time
If this was the first and only time it happened I’d agree with you. But it isn’t.
