Thats all nice and good but it shows that you still dont understand what ACAB means. ACAB, or the concept that there are no good cops, is not a criticism of bad cops, nor a call for reform. Its a denunciation of the entire judicial system, and your solutions do not address it. In Dr. Higgs' words:

The Whole "Good/Bad Cop" Question Can Be Disposed Of Much More Decisively. We Need Not Enumerate What Propotion Of Cops Appears To Be Good Or Listen To Someone's Anecdote About His Uncle Charlie, An Allegedly Good Cop. We Need Only Consider The Following:

(1) Every Cop Has Agreed As Part Of His Job To Enforce Laws, All Of Them (2) Many Of The Laws Are Manifestly Unjust, And Some Are Even Cruel & Wicked. (3) Therefore, Every Cop Has Agreed To Act As An Enforcer Of Laws That Are Manifestly Unjust, Or Even Cruel & Wicked

Thus There Are No Good Cops

Thats why we keep repeating ourselves "ad nauseam", because most people still doesnt get it.

Perhaps you misunderstand. I fundamentally disagree with ACAB and all the other anti-police rhetoric.

I'm letting all the malcontents know that they're not getting through to anyone or changing anyone's minds, they're just masturbating.

Thats your prerogative. But your opinion does not change the facts.

"Facts".

Riiiiight.
