Snopes is a buzz kill.

Guys, the moms have compromised Snopes.

How deep does this go??
So not only was it false but:
😬
[sic]
A more interesting statistic to me is that police are the least likely to respond properly to a crime when it's raining.
It is stupidly easy to distract a pig if you want to do crime. Rain, snow, a new blizzard at DQ.. they are barely trained armed gang thugs, ACAB.
ACAB is a bit too broad of an insult.
Let's specify this:
Most cops in America are bastards -> MCIAAB
Since in Europe the police is generally better than in USA but still not perfect:
A lot cops in Europe are bastards -> ALCIEAB
Rolls right of the tongue
You're missing the point of ACAB. All cops are either bastards or they tolerate and join ranks behind the ones who are actually bastards - making them bastards as well. Whistleblower cops are not bastards, but they end up not being cops any more and often not being alive any more.
because its a stupid ass point from a outside point of view.
every good or neutral person joining is a win compared to a truly awful one that could have taken the spot instead.
its just the same old bland black and white tribalism.
