The institution of the police is like an occupying army.
If another country invaded and occupied, would it make any sense at all to join that invading army in an attempt to “be better” and “improve things from within the system”? Or, if you joined that invading army, would you just be a traitorous bastard participating in the subjugation of your own people?
ACAB because it is the job description to be a bastard. ACAB the same way all firemen fight fires; it is the main thing they are employed to do.
I hope not. But there ain’t any good sense in not trying.

There ain’t any good sense in trying… ACAB.
