ACAB
Even black cops.
Not that this story doesn’t highlight major societal issues with bias and bigotry. But yeah. ACAB still holds true.
True story, my life partner seriously thought that ACAB stood for Assigned Cat At Birth.
My crazy uncle on Facebook heard they’re putting litter boxes in the classrooms now!
This country has horrific systemic racism, and that might very will have instigated this scenario.
On the other hand, if there’s a guy prowling between the houses of my neighborhood, even if he’s in uniform, I’m going to call the police to make sure it’s legit, and I’m going to describe him as best I can, including skin color.
Absolutely, it’s absurd for that guy to assume this is a racist act.
But that’s what happens when victim mentality is drilled into one so deeply that it becomes the primary component of one’s identity.
A wound that is stricken on a daily basis becomes so sore even a gentle touch hurts.
Don’t be a cop.
If a person is going to be a cop then I want them to at least have some diversity so as to be able to handle a wider range of problems and interactions (and to fill spots otherwise used by racist assholes).

I also believe that all cops should have a stronger layer of accountability (like perhaps an arm under the FBI to locally monitor police), that certain interactions between judges, proscutors, and police should be discouraged with fines or worse, and they should be demilitarized.
But for now, standing against a diverse police force is idiocy.
If only they had the common sense to be angry at white pigs too
To be fair, cops can’t just randomly look into people’s houses, so this guy could have been mistaken for a police impersonator.
Cops can randomly look into people’s houses. For example, if the blinds are up etc.
Because anyone can. It’s not illegal.
