When we say ACAB, it's not a commentary on the character of individual pigs, but rather an acknowledgement that individual character is irrelevant in a corrupt system.
How many honest cops does it take to change a light bulb? Honest cops have never changed anything.
That being said, ICE obviously has hired from a pool of people who are too violent, incompetent, or stupid to become your regular neighborhood pig. They really are something much worse.
Cops can't change a light bulb. If the room is black, they just beat the shit out of it.
Then they arrest the bulb for being broke
They light it up with muzzle flashes.
Idk I think willingly participating in a system that is openly corrupt, violent, and racist kinda says some stuff about a person's character as an individual. I think the only good cops are honest enough about their jobs to leave the force.
A lot of people believe that they can change the system from the inside. It doesn't make them bad people. Mislead maybe, but not bad. What makes them bad is prolonged existence in the system that is purposefully built to break or push out anyone who doesn't fit. But that takes time.
The road to hell is built on good intentions....... I don't think your intentions really matter if you partake in the same actions to get in on the inside.
