The day the Right takes up the ACAB slogan, is the day the praetorian guard lose all their authority. They have the options of enjoying their power while it lasts, or going on a unified front to say to their political overlords "fuck off".
Even Ontario, as shit as it is to its citizens sometimes, had its police forces unified in saying "fuck off, we're not enforcing your new law" to its leader, which I'm sure bought a lot of public approval for them, and will allow them to keep their authority and power for a while longer in that area.
Enforcement is a negotiation. It doesn't look like one, but it is one. And right now, the police have less bargaining power than ever. They need to bring something to the table that the public wants.
I think the issue in trying to make the Right say ACAB is that a lot of our police arent like that. For instance, my governor says masks are required. My sheriff doesnt give a damn. I have seen him walk into the local gas station to get his morning coffee, and he just waves at everyone and saying "Morning" and doesnt even give them a second look if they arent wearing mask. And that is the attitude of most police in Right-leaning areas. And on the riot front, my local cities have not spared the rod and mercilessly beat BLM and Antifa until they got the hint that they should leave, and so we have seen only minor crime spikes, especially compared to other cities who are seeing double, or even triple, digit percent increases in crime.
So is it any wonder that around here we still fly the Thin Blue Line flags and say "We love our cops!"? And yet, a lot of the people who fly those flags, when you bring up departments like the LAPD or NYPD, the response is "Screw'em, until they learn who they should be serving."
It certainly is regional, which does make sense given that precincts are regional. "Specific Cop Organizations Are Bastards" SCOAB, just doesn't ring in the chants as well though...
Which changes it from a left-right to a locational issue. But that's a great example of cops knowing how to negotiate their power: don't use authority, that valuable and rare currency, when you don't need to.
A lot of the Staties seem to be pretty squared away. Portland's police, when just left to do their job also seem to be pretty good too.
The New Orleans Police Department? Holy shit, no. Those guys have been shady as fuck for decades.
One of the most corrupt cities in the country, in one of the most corrupt states in the country, has one of the most corrupt police departments in the country? I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
This is where the problem with that lies. Do not attack all cops, or all militiaries, regardless of revolutionary desire. It is is always a self-defeating effort. Your objective is to subvert the military and/or police. You want to take control of the military & police, not destroy them. This is the mistake of the Leftists because the Fabains plan on introducing their own public-private police forces through the Safe Cities program.
The right needs to recruit the police and the military. If you control both apparatuses, then you can effectively win any revolution after that using force of will alone.
This is also why you don't want to secede. You are abandoning both territory and the remaining military forces to the Leftists. No es bueno. They will use that to invade.
Correct, dude to the illusory nature of power, enforcement must be a negotiation.
