>>12375330People realized we actually need cops for crime prevention and that they are people too, also that the biggest problems with policing are institutional so it isn't very smart to needlessly create animosity between the individual police officers and communities when they could be coming together to try and actually improve things on both sides. I think this shift mostly happened after west coast cities began going to sh*t following their own "defund" movements and everybody realized we actually do need police lole. I always found "ACAB" to be the most hypocritical thing coming primarily from groups who preach peace, openmindness and sh*t lole, I'm glad people don't really use this anymore.
