I agree, getting rid of them all is starting to seem like a good idea.

And by all, I mean the perversely scummy government officials not the Palestinians getting murdered by said scummy government officials.

There are a lot of good cops. ACAB is about pointing out that they all might as well be bastards because enough of them are that people don't feel safe around them.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have police. We need much harsher penalties for misconduct, external investigations into misconduct, and better training to avoid misconduct in the first place.

Acab is not about there being good cops that are drowned out by bad cops. Acab is that, by definition, all cops are bastards. There might be good people that become cops, but they either stop being cops or stop being good people, because it's a requirement of the job. Anyone who abides by the "thin blue line" to protect their corrupt buddies is by definition corrupt, and cops, by definition follow the thin blue line or they lose their badge.
