But how do you know they choose to not blow the whistle?
Seems quite a number of things are coming to light where things WERE escalated to superiors or even government. These end up under gag-order while “under investigation” - often for years - which means that they reporting officer could be fined/jailed themselves for leaking it, and includes stuff like sexual assaults within the police force itself.
It’s a no-win situation for good cops, and calling them spineless and complicit without knowing the details of such just makes you an asshole.

This is the all in ACAB, right here. This is the point we’re trying to make, and you’re making it for us. The point is that the system of policing ensures that bad cops are protected and elevated and good cops are either silenced (thus becoming bad cops) or forced out. The fact that “it’s a no-win situation for good cops” is exactly what ACAB is saying.
Except that ALL means everyone, which would include the ones doing good by citizens, fighting against corrupt shit, and not quitting.
It’s not “all cops”, it’s the fucking system that corrupt.
It’s like making a discriminatory (racist/sexist/whatever) comment and then turning to a person who falls under that group and saying “but, uh, we don’t count you in that”, and plenty of people DO immediately turn shit on anyone just for being a cop.
It’s not “all cops”, it’s the fucking system that corrupt.
What is the system made of? Who are the primary drivers? Don’t try to make this about racism, “cop” is not a race, it’s a conscious choice made by a knowing adult. You just said yourself that good cops, when they exist, either get corrupted or forced out. What does that leave? Bastards.

I’m okay being an asshole.
