Why ACAB?
Occasionally people ask, ‘what about the good cops? What about the people who join the police to protect their communities?’
Those people do exist. Not everyone signing up to be a cop is doing it to power trip and brutalise people.
The crux of the matter is, one’s personal motivation for becoming a cop does not change the material reality that, institutionally, they have no choice but to be bastards.
They will be fired if they choose to deescalate instead of shooting to kill.
Their colleagues discuss how much they love to attack people and get away with it.
If they try to stop their colleagues from choking restrained captives to death, they’ll get punched in the face and fired without a pension.
If they try to tell the truth when it's their names on the line, they'll be stifled and shunted around divisions until they beat their wives and kill themselves.
If they try to enforce the law on their superiors, they’ll be fired on the spot.
If they break the thin blue line, the rest of the force will do anything to disempower and discredit them.
If they encourage other cops to stand up against injustice, they will be cut loose.
There’s nothing you can do to stop them killing you in your own home, in front of your daughter, within seconds of opening the door. If they do, your family may get $4 in compensation.
They’ll shoot children for playing with BB guns, even when they know the guns are fake.
If you’re thinking ‘at least they have cute dogs’, I’ve got bad news for you: USA police kill 25 dogs per day. It’s an epidemic.
But maybe you’re down with literal child and puppy murder, so long as you stay safe. It’s a steep price for safety, but cops keep us safe, right? Surprise: courts have ruled cops have no duty to protect you. The only thing that matters is their own skin.
Alright but they still solve major crimes and lock up the real sickos! Nope, cops aren't even good at their jobs.
That is why the only good cop is a soon-to-be ex-cop.

Even in copaganda shows, they still manage to show the truth: that cops harass, physically threaten and intimidate victims of domestic violence. If this is what they proudly admit to, what do they do in secret?

Is Lego's "Ninjago" copaganda?
While the Ninja usually fight some evil menace that wants to destroy the world, like the Serpentine or the Stone Army, they portray the "evil ninja" as doing little wrong besides petty crime, as do they with the Serpintine sometimes, and also sometimes portray the Ninja as "heroically stopping crime" that often isn't even violent. So is this show Copaganda? I really don't want it to be, as I grew up with the show.

Can we post how police may have a role in promoting a sense of fear about crime?
In other words, surveys show the population believes crime is far worse than the data illustrates. And by making everyone afraid so they misperceive the risk, helps fuels police agendas and budgets.

I'm bored. Is True Detective copaganda?
I'm bored and need a new show to binge on one of the streaming platforms. I'm willing to put up with minor copaganda but if it makes me roll my eyes every 5 seconds, then it's not for me. So with that said, is True Detective an example of heavy copaganda or is it different?
