#in terms of values and lowkey its kinda surreal

[rainbowloliofjustice]

Also, what these pro-ACAB idiots don't realize is that police officers sees shit that people can only have nightmares about. They don't realize that cops would often have PTSD from seeing so many innocent people getting killed in very gruesome ways, entire families being slaughtered at times, just the cruelties of others. Hell, they even catch legit child predators in the act (1/2)

There's even a video that showed body cam of cops busting into a hotel and finding a child with blood on the bed in which they arrested the pedophile, who kidnapped the child, hiding in the room. And these cops have to see that SO OFTEN while these idiots who are screaming "ACAB!! reblog to hate a cop uwu because they're all pigs uwu" get fucking """triggered""" because of fictional shit. It's just... So damn infuriating to see

The biggest issue is that many of them are unwilling to accept criticism (which would allow them to see the faults in their movement/slogan/whatever) or talk about other alternatives to just defunding and getting rid of the police. Like Obama said, the left is awful at conveying a message. 

“The key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?” Obama added.

And wanna know something? A lot of them want to feel good among people they already agree with. To them, that’s progress. They often have no intention or desire to actually do anything. They have no intention or desire to reach out to anyone other than those who already disagree with them. And ironically enough, a lot of the people criticizing Obama for criticizing the way they go about things are blue checkmarks and people who have a cushy bed of money to sit and a house that is guarded by a nice, picket fence. A lot of them think that if they have to convince you or think that you’re just an idiot for not fully understanding what a three/four letter slogan means and how it is intended to be interpreted, then you aren’t worth getting on their side.

This, among many other reasons, is why the left and progressives are fucking losing to republicans and conservatives. Yeah, ik that defund the police and ACAB is meant to say that the system is corrupt and that some police areas are overly funded. However, I still disagree with it for the criticisms outlined in my other post, as well as the fact that some areas actually have a relatively decent police force and because I know that politicians will probably gleefully defund the police and then take another vacation. 

I also disagree because I know what those slogans “truly mean” because I’m fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it) enough to be able to spend a majority of my time on social media watching idiots be idiots. If you have to give a one to two minutes long explanation of what something means after you say it because someone doesn’t “truly” get what it means, that is a sign that it is fucking awful. 

Like I have absolutely zero issues (other than ya know, general safety, people, etc.) against social workers, paramedics, etc. being sent out to places alongside the police so that way, they can properly deal with issues. The reality is that police officers are not trained to be able to evaluate mental health and may not have any idea how to talk down a crazy addict. The reality is that social workers and paramedics are not equipped to deal with said crazy addict waving around a gun and threatening to shoot people. Given that the situation can be one of two ways, both should be sent out to investigate and better allow one or the other to actually do their job. Not to mention, if some fucked up shit does happen, you have people that are not obligated to feel like they need to protect someone out of fear of repercussions or loss of their job. 

Similarly, I have no issues with scrapping the current training system that police officers have to go through in favor of one that better teaches how to de-escalate and how to better handle situations before having to turn to aggression. I also have no issues with either getting rid of or heavily limiting police unions. I have no issues re-allocating money from overly funded police forces to better public systems. 

However, despite all that if you so much as criticize acab or the dtp crowd you’re just someone who uwu wants to sleep in the same bed as pigs uwu or yOu jUsT dOnT gEt iT. If you have to constantly tell people “they just don’t get it” or “they’re misinterpreting it” every time a criticism is brought up, that is probably a sign that it should be re-evaluated and to evaluate whether those criticisms hold weight and if so, use those criticisms to better yourself. 

But, since they want to feel good around people who already agree with them, they see no reason to change. As long as many of them continue to do that, they will continue to lose supporters
