The issue that has really moved a lot of folks like me who used to be distracted by the "why did they have gun?" argument off to fully into the ACAB perspective is that bad cops are so rarely punished.
It can be the most cut and dry case of murder and the cops get off, typically with ZERO jail time or direct economic penalty.
Literally the same one of the US most well covered cases of police murder had this update . . .

We go to Memphis for an update after jurors acquitted three former Memphis police officers of the murder of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black father who died after the officers brutally beat him during a traffic stop in January 2023. The group beating was caught on video, provoking widespread outrage and calls for police reform. The three officers still face sentencing after they were convicted of separate federal charges, along with two other officers who pleaded guilty to the state charges and will not stand trial. “A lot of us were shocked,” says Amber Sherman, of the Memphis community’s response. Sherman, a community organizer and member of Black Lives Matter Memphis, joined the family Thursday at a community vigil and protest. She warns this latest acquittal will “embolden” Memphis police as they continue to “do whatever they want.”
@Jaden3 #TyreNichols
We shouldn't have to be talking about Tyre in the past tense. He should be still with us, with his mum and his family, going about his life.
And letting them off with it? Its just state-sanctioned murder. I CANNOT imagine the void left behind in his family or, the unnecessary pain they must now carry with them
@Jaden3 there are so many that most never get any national recognition. Each individual murder is diluted in the sea of murders.
I don't understand how fatally beating #TyreNichols isn't murder. Can you beat someone by mistake?
What reason does a cop ever have to beat someone even?
Rhetorical of course, the answer is cops are human-shaped piles of shit.
If the law will not protect you, then it's time for people to protect themselves.
“Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish; it means just the opposite. We have such a strong desire to live with hope and human dignity that existence without them is impossible. When reactionary forces crush us, we must move against these forces, even at the risk of death. We will have to be driven out with a stick.” - Huey Newton.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — After three former Memphis police officers were acquitted Wednesday in the beating death of Tyre Nichols, community and civil rights leaders expressed outrage over another disappointment in the long push for police reform. Nichols' death at a traffic stop more than two years ago sparked nationwide protests and renewed calls for systemic
