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!
