After arriving at the Murry family home, police instructed everyone inside to come out with their hands up. Nakala Murry says that’s when Aderrien emerged from around a corner, running toward the door. Capers then opened fire.
Dear lord, talk about victim blaming. They shot the kid because his mom and her boyfriend had domestic violence issues? FUCK THAT. The reason the kid was shot because ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS.
Not every cop is an American.
ACAB applies outside of america too
Most cops in developed countries are just some guys who happen to be police officers.

Buddy that’s every cop everywhere. In the USA cops require less training than a hairdresser.
Give a rando a badge and a gun and there’s a good chance they’ll use that power to terrorize people.
ACAB is a dumb overspimplification of a complex issue and does not help the cause of social justice.
Anyone who uses the phrase seriously is IMO not to be taken so
Ok, this is a good test. Show me the good cops in this situation who are fighting for this family. Doing what they can to out the pieces of shit who stroke their cocks to dead children.
IF there is a single good cop at this station they would be working to end this, right?
Or are at least publicly speaking out against it, right?
at least one saying ‘yo fuck that guy’
Or ‘thank fuck he’s gone, now maybe I can keep my lunch in the office fridge until lunch, maybe even without getting pubic hair and weird tiny holes in it’
‘I knew something was off about him’
‘Huh, that explains some stuff.’
‘Now where am I going to get my cocaine abd child sex slaves!?’
They never will though
There actually was one in Los Angeles about a decade back.
His name was Christopher Dorner. The hero we needed, but didn’t deserve. They kept the fire department away while they burned him. I know a lot of us have heard that phrase before. But this was in fucking southern California.
You do not fuck with fire in southern California unless you’re okay with a LOT of people dying. Like, ‘see it from space,multiple counties evacuated’ level disaster.
You sound like the next thing out of your mouth will be, “If you just follow instructions, you have nothing to fear.”
Fuck that.
I don’t think so, my understanding of it is that even if one individual cop is a ‘good one’ they still work for a broken system and help in some form whatever insanity has led to the people who are meant to protect and serve, instead, routinely shooting unarmed civilians. In the case of this article - a child.
I don’t think it helps to think of cops as individuals when it’s the collective that’s broken. So in this case the simplification is kind of the point.
ACAB is pretty simple to understand.
1 in 20 candies in a bowl contain a lethal amount of poison. 19 in 20 are fine. You can’t tell the difference unless you eat one, and by then it’s too late.
Go ahead and eat one. Not every candy is poisoned, most aren’t. Most candies are safe. The odds are in your favor, what are you worried about?
Or does a 5% chance of a candy being poisoned motivate you to treat the entire bowl as being poisoned?
Same with cops. One bad apple spoils the bunch. ACAB.
This except 19 are poisoned 1 is fine, and that one fine one could snitch on the others but then the 19 would murder it so it stays silent
Except also only the other candies can get rid of the bad candy, they all know which it is, and if you try to fix it, even if youre one of them, they’ll all burn you to death.
And also the FBI agrees that they’re a loose federation of white supremacist gangs that get special tattoos to commemorate kills, with racist tropes based on the victim, published a paper about it 20 years ago, and took no action becauause ACAB
It’s not.
No. Itvlooks like an oversimplification if you zoom in a little. But if you zoom in a little more, and look everywhere, you’ll find it holds true.
They aren’t all obvious bastards; they are all bastards.
While I agree the issue is complex and everything is not about troopers being inherently mean and brutal, sometimes, one also has to name things plainly.
Hence, ACAB. CQFD.
Your commenting on an extremist community where logic doesn’t actually matter anymore.
This is a community that started from pointing out serious problems and talking about how they might be solved, to not actually caring about how to solve the problems and just hating and being polarized.
You are 100% correct because using this term is not going to help figure out realistic ways to solve the problem. It’s just going to do what fringe groups do, and make actual solutions impossible to start with. Thus perpetuating the problems the fringe group hates, it’s their identity, they can’t go without it.
Not only does it prevent solutions but it actually pushes out allies and others who are also passionate about the problem because “they aren’t extreme enough”. (This is me, I despise this problem and want to support anything I can that aims for actual solutions)
I look forward to all the hate spam, downvotes, and the comments. Which would be no different than if I actually commented on a Nazi community pointing out hypocrisy.
If y’all want to actually solve this problem then extreme, generalized, non-logical, blind-hate, stances aren’t going to do it. You’re literally becoming a sibling of neo-nazis with this, and you’re weakening your own position, and alienating your support, by being extremists about it.
100% agree
Yeah, by that comment alone, smart money’s on you being the only one to say your username out loud. 🤌🏽
“Not all fascist serial killers sex traffickers and drug wholesalers!”
IMO the most salient point of the article:
Carlos Moore, the attorney representing the Murry family, told NPR that the court-filed petition is “outlandish” and suggests the move by the court is retaliation for her ongoing lawsuit against the City of Indianola over her son’s shooting.
“I believe they are just harassing her,” Moore said. “She is a single mother and she does not deserve this pure harassment.”
Without even opening the article, I’m going to guess this woman is a person of color.
Opens article
Why am I not surprised?
no one is ever safe from police violence. not the victim, not the witnesses, not bystanders, not children, not people following commands, not unarmed people with their hands in the air, no one.
My ex was from Indianola.
You can’t expect a cop to show up and not shoot a black person. I mean, that’s just not how it’s done in the catfish farming capital of Mississippi.
I dunno. I feel like if you’re asking your 11 year old kid to call the cops for you and shit gets fucked up, is it a you problem not a police problem if they’re responding to a situation where they apply an appropriate level of response not knowing who is who in that hot moment.
It’s horrible that the kid was in the middle of it - - but where was the parent?
This seems to me that police need better domestic dispute training, but tragic as it is ,things move so quickly in a situation like that.
Too bad the boyfriend doesn’t have unlimited funds but really I don’t think the police department is at fault.
If you think that’s an appropriate level of response, you’re delusional and way too influenced by your country. See how police operates elsewhere. Here in Spain they don’t shoot people even if they’re armed, unless they start shooting first basically. There are other ways to control a situation, but in your country they have gone mad with power and they are too afraid to save lives by risking their own safety.
They’re not afraid to do it; they don’t want to and that’s officially not their job according to the supreme court.
Not to say they aren’t filthy violent cowards, but it doesn’t even get to the point where cowardice enters the equation.
How did the USA get itself into this kind of situation where police routine just shoot innocent people as an ‘appropriate level of response’ since they don’t know ‘who is hot’? These stories come up all the time. Police get spooked by something, and people get killed because of it. Sometimes its an acorn; sometimes it’s someone walking too fast wearing a hoodie; sometimes it’s someone who closed their car window ‘suspiciously’; and very often, the thing that makes the cops freak out and murder someone is just the sight of the person who requested help.
“Warrior Training”. John Oliver has a great piece on it here, NSFW language.
It’s a 30 minute watch and 100% worth it.
Also lots of them train with the Zionist shutzstaffel.
The police are absolutely at fault for, you know, shooting an 11 year old who was complying with police orders.
It doesn’t matter who called the police or where the parents were or what they were doing, the police shot an 11 year old who was attempting to do what the police were telling him to do.
This stems from a lot of different things, but my expectation would be this was the #1 component:
