Glossary Entry: ACAB

Definition

ACAB is a political slogan that means "All Cops Are Bastards", a sentiment that stems from the belief that there's no such thing as a "good cop". It became popularized during the 2020 riots, which were in turn caused by police misconduct.

Personally, I don't endorse this view - it's too simplistic, and I get the impression that many of the people using this slogan are primarily trying to look cool or rebellious.
