A police officer has been filmed kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground at Manchester Airport.
The uniformed male officer is seen holding a Taser over the man, who is lying face down, before striking him twice while other officers shout at onlookers to stay back in a video shared widely online.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said firearms officers had been attacked while attempting to arrest someone following a fight in the airport’s Terminal 2 on Tuesday. It said it had referred itself to the police watchdog.
Anger has grown over the video and a crowd of what appeared to be several hundred people protested outside the police station in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday evening.
As always, ACAB.
The term originates from Britain after all.
All Coppers Are Bastards.
bro takes an array of arrays of floats, collapses the floats into booleans, the arrays of booleans into a single boolean each and then collapses the array of booleans into a single boolean
the amount of data lost in your thought process is crazy, this kinda shit is the real brainrot
also isn’t “all [type of person] are x” what brought us racism lmao
i know you tried to sound smart there but your first paragraph is nonsensical, jsyk
“type of person” is too broad to make your question valid. depends on what “type” means.
if by type you mean facial features and color of skin, eh sure, why not… even though it’s less that and more about justifying oppression for power and resources.
but you used it in the context of acab, in which case type means what you do for a living which is entirely different from skin color… so no. you can make such judgments, and it wouldn’t be racism or even have remotely similar thought process (say, as you could point to sexism, homophobia, etc as at least having some parallels in the way of thinking).
so yes, i can say all cops are bastards, all vulture capitalists are monsters, all landlords are leeches, all billionaires are immoral, all republican politicians are demons…
Bootlick much?
Is being a cop an unchanging characteristic that you’re born with?
Can someone choose to just change their ethnicity on a whim?
Well, I’d say holding a specific occupation that has harmful effects on the people around you and choosing to maintain it makes you a bastard, since you can just stop being a cop, and therefore stop being a problem. People aren’t born being a cop. They choose to become one. And that choice makes them a damn rotten bastard.
I don’t think any data was lost in girlfreddy’s thought process, I think you disagreed and tried to form a logical line of thought to disprove theirs while sounding smart, and ended up making some false equivalences and oversimplifications in the process
In short, acab
Disgusting… I hope you get to live in a nation with no police some day.
Look, if I need someone to show up to a crime scene the day after it happened and shoot my dog, I know who to call.
Ok.
I live in Russia, people here generally don’t trust police.
“Call us when they actually kill you”, beating out confessions, cooperating with crooks, and, of course, possessing enormous persuasion skills when they need you to throw away your report of a crime which they don’t want to deal with.
There are people good and bad like everywhere else, but the atmosphere while talking to these people is very special.
You live in Russia… your government jails and kills people it disagrees with… Yeah… if course… fuck Russian police. No shit.
It’s generally not the usual police doing that stuff. Mostly RG.

Wow. Actually im a performer. Musicians and actor. I’m just not American, although I did live there… If that’s where this is coming from.
I’m Irish. Our police is just one of many public services…
It would be literally removede d to draw a line at a profession and say any person int his profession… Is… Anything.
My mother works in a Garda station. Although she isn’t police herself. would you like to call her a bastard too?
Right, I’m sure IRA supporters definitely consider the polis a public service…
Are you a boomer? Are you referring to our politics in the early 90s!?
Are you referring to the Ira by name that fought for our independence, of the IRA by name of the terrorist organisation in the north during the troubles?
Do you even realise how rude this question is?
While I appreciate your enthusiasm for the police force in Ireland (an emotion I’m sure isn’t shared by everyone) I feel that it glosses over the intense distrust of other forces, like the PSNI (incorporating the RUC) in Northern Ireland, and the negative effects of state beneficial clique formations. (eg. union constables against anti-union communities)
So while you might see the Garda Síochána as a step in the right direction for a liberated Ireland - I think it’s important to never forget the main purpose of the polis - to maintain monopoly on violence.
So while the Gardaí may appear to work for you right now - I just hope you never have to be on the “wrong” side of the state and have to feel the force of “legitimate” violence used against you, especially when standing with your community against capitalist sponsored state oppression (eg Shell to Sea)
Well, I’ve never even been in Ireland, but my sister has given me some unwanted lectures about the connection between the two.
I’d personally say that through the prism of Armenian issues, the latter was friends with ASALA, while “respectable” Irish politicians from time to time say savage cannibalistic shit on those and specifically on Artsakh.
So of course the latter is better from my PoV and I don’t care about any other, just as everyone else (though pretending not to).
For reference, the first “A” stands for “ALL”.
