""... white women are equally aware their race privileges them ... In this context, their tearful displays are a form of emotional and psychological violence that reinforce the very system of white dominance that many white women claim to oppose."

Here's what I mean by #ACAB. That all cops, qua cops, are bad.

It doesn't matter how wonderful they are in other ways, how great a parent they are, how much they contribute to their community in other ways, how often they volunteer at a homeless shelter, etc.

Insofar as they participate in the structure of policing, of a police-state, they cannot not be bad. It's not them (though it can be, due both to who it attracts & how it affects). It's that they're cops.
