They signed up to fight crime and protect people. And that's what they are doing. There are definitely bastards in the police, but this logic is insanely dumb. Are kids who dream about being cops and saving people bastards?
It says: It's not extremism to be normal.
Yes they are.
Just a few days ago in my country cops arrested several rich bastards for corruption. They took the Mayor of a big city, member of currently most supported (and populist) political party, in handcuffs. At least those I know believe they are making world better and safer, and I think that by catching criminals they are. That's their actual job, and that's what they do. And I'm glad that if I got robbed, I can call those "bad people" and they will try to find whoever robbed me. And they are not "state sanctioned user of violence". If a cop shoots a person here, they are heavily investigated, even if the person was a criminal.
I know several cops and they are all great people. I live in Europe though, and hating all cops isn't luckily considered normal here.

I would upvote your comment, but I'll be with a real girl (I don't expect you to understand it)
Skilled scammers manipulate their victims so much that they don't believe their actual bank telling them it's a scam. I don't think this will help.
You forgot paranoid people. I fall into all three categories.
I agree, the police has a lot of issues and there's definitely a need for changes. But still, saying ACAB is just hateful extremism and I'm shocked that some people in this thread act like every single cop is a villain who only wants to beat minorities.
