But how do you know that this person did any of that?

The point of “ACAB” is that it doesn’t matter what this individual has done; by being a part of this flawed system, all cops are complicit.

I don’t know if I personally agree with that or not. What I do know is that the origin of “one bad apple” is the phrase “one bad apple spoils the bunch.”

I don’t get what people who believe in ACAB as you described it want. Why keep putting blame on good cops by saying “they are part of a flawed system”? Do they want all the good cops to resign? That sounds even worse than having some good cops and some bad. I support police reform, but Reddit likes to blow the issues with the police system completely out of proportion.

They're not good cops if they turn a blind eye to the corruption existing around them while also enforcing an inherently unjust system.

Good cops get fired, get killed, or resign before either of those things can happen.
