2 months agoACAB is a slogan. It’s not factual in the strictest sense but it captures a truth. Statistically speaking, there is at least one good cop. Maybe even two. Real Andy Griffith, Carlton Lassiter types. Their existence does not change the fact that the system is rotten to the very core, and their tacit support for that system makes them bastards, even if they themselves have never abused anyone or covered for a colleague’s malpractice. Good cops exist, but they don’t last very long.
And as the sibling comment pointed out, institutionally speaking the RCMP is a god awful example if you’re trying to make a case for good cops.
I hate to be that guy in this case but he has not been convicted, and so he is an alleged murderer. He deserves the pre-trial treatment we would like to be given to someone who has been wrongly accused.
I wish him a speedy trial and a very fucking long execution.
