I wonder if maybe we should push others to interpret the “C” in ACAB to be more than just the actual occupation of Cop/Police.
There’s the phrase, “Kill the cop in your head,” that I think is supposed to mean that we’re indoctrinated with the certain ideas that cause oppression and our initial response to things will be as “a cop.”
I don’t think anybody who is pointing out that certain people are trying to do good by being in certain professions is wrong but being a teacher or professor or doctor or psychologist as a job doesn’t automatically “kill the cop in your head”. Horribly, it can give “the cop in your head” a huge amount of opportunity to oppress others.
