Recently a cop died in my city. The news was like “officer died on duty while responding to a robbery”.
Turns out the fat ass died of a heart attack in his cruiser while parked outside.
Now the city police is painting him as a fallen hero who deserves a state funeral paid by us. Meanwhile I lost 5 of my coworkers during COVID, working at a hospital. Nobody lowered a flag or gave them so much as a mention in the newspaper
Molly Conger a.k.a. Socialistdogmom once did a deep dive on a report their city police made to show “deaths in the line of duty” and at least one was someone who died on vacation of a long term medical issue. Another ridiculously common one was classifying cops who died in car accidents they caused while not even pursuing anyone as in the line of duty.

The one that got shot by his pal because they forgot they didn’t used training ammo was pretty hilarious, but the best part was that he shot him IN THE BACK, i see they were really training what they usually do to real people.
I don’t like police officers as a general rule. But I also don’t really advocate for death as a blanket statement. This is just a poor taste joke.
Edit: Jesus, ya’ll can stop replying now. No wonder we have genocide, so easy to dehumanized others, and not even notice.
No wonder we have genocide
Yes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza becuase Americans hate their occupation force 🤡
You can stop being a cop. The victims of cops can’t stop being black.
The victims of cops can’t stop being black while only 1,858 out 8,248 victims of police brutality were black from 2017-2024
It’s seems the proponents of ACAB are only capable of heuristic reasoning.
That’s not a graph of police brutality, that is a graph of killings by gunshot wounds from police.
Now let’s find out how many people are black out of the US population and figure out why the numbers you posted is a problem.
Fair enough. I guess my overarching point is that making generalizing statements like “all cops are racist” or “the victims of cops can’t stop being black” are harmful to the discussion considering there are also non-black victims of police brutality.
I feel it’s better to say that there’s an issue with racism within the police force that needs a solution (which is one of the main points of BLM) rather than resorting to lazy slogans like ACAB that do nothing to further the discussion. The very definition of slacktivism
The problem is you have no way of knowing, and the consequences of interacting with a cop are frequently death or life altering injury. As a result you have to treat every interaction as of you are dealing with a racist murderer who faces no consequences.
So doing what any normal and intelligent individual would do when faced with interacting with cops? That’s not the ACAB I’m used to seeing being paraded on here.
This very well may be Stockholm syndrome, or something close to it.
Just because you know what to do to mitigate your chances of being shot doesn’t mean that that behavior isn’t still shitty. Look into how police are trained. They’re trained like the military, only the enemy is civilians.
That’s not normal outside of USA. You’re crazy if you think it is.
The point is that cops absolutely have the power to kick out the bastards from the force (they have strong unions and dictate their working conditions) and actively choose not to. They are all complicit and know what they signed up for.
Id say that’s definitely one of the core issues, but also the police’s core history as well. I do know that cops can do good things, but I’ll still stand with the ACAB crowd all day. Even though those cops can and do good things, at their core they’ve joined an organization that will protect themselves and the rich at the cost of us. That is undeniable. There is something categorically wrong with the police force in the US and likely most of the world.
This is kinda the problem with this reasoning though. You’d have to admit the police do more good than harm by maintaining some form of societal order and occasional brutality is only some consequence of it.
I’d prefer to live in a world with bastards that maintain order than none at all.
That’s what we’re talking about though. What they’re doing is not order. The police typically escalate situations that don’t need to be escalated, they’re prone to fear because it’s how they’re trained and they view us as criminals and assailants. They do not protect order for normal people, they protect order for those that have enough power and influence.
No one feels comfortable when cops are around aside from cops and the rich. You’re trading false security for your rights.
I agree about blanket statements and calls for death, but it looks to me like this meme is just calling cops trash.
Some people can’t accept that other people don’t respect the regime authority. Mocking pigs to some is in off itself is offensive so original commenter using generic “violence is never right” argument to justify his reaction of distaste for OP.
You correctly observed that he misread the meme, just reflexively responded as a bootlicker.
Not really, I just don’t automatically wish death on people as a default state. They’re still human beings. You’re just trying to stir shit up for no reason.
There was no “wishing for cops death” until you brought it up. Everyone was just happily calling them trash until you came in here with assumptions and all this violent malarkey.
The implications of a police officer in a casket absolutely is.
Police officers (trash) are taking a dead police officer (trash) out of the building.
Trash taking seats trash out.
Trash taking itself out.
There’s no death wishing here, just that if an alive cop is trash, a dead one still is. That’s the only thing being said here.
I’m with you. People can be so fucked up sometimes…
You’re apparently the only one if this comment chain is any indication.
So in response to cops stereotyping minorities, let’s sterotype all cops? Then let’s take that to the extreme and disrepect a dead person you know nothing about, for laughs.
Even If you knew for a fact that the person in that cofin was a bad cop, does thier family deserve this image being passed around like this. No. One could understand if your motive was to help effect change, and crossing this line would help. But you are doing it for laughs and internet points. There is nothing good about that.Cops aren’t people
Being a cop is a choice.
Being a minority is not.
All cops are garbage. Every single one of them.
NOT 👏 ALL 👏 PIGS 🐷
Hey, don’t talk like that about pigs. They’re usually much nicer than people.
No pig ever chocked someone to death in the street for the crime of being born poor and black.
Heh. Cheap generalizations are fun.
