well good thing you signed up to protect this system
Still a bastard, though
Still sounds suspicious

Even black cops.
Not that this story doesn’t highlight major societal issues with bias and bigotry. But yeah. ACAB still holds true.
Thanks, I didn’t know what the “All” part meant.

Black Cops Won’t Save Us by F.D Signifier covers this topic well
I was just about to link this. 🙌🏾
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!
Otherkin are valid. While the litterbox thing is fake, I am 100% certain there’s a very brave teenager out there who has come out as catkin at school, and I am proud of them.

You would think you’d be used to being a subservient whipping boy if you become a cop while black.
Living while black, not even once.
“Better make sure I beat up some black guys later so the rest of the force knows I stand with them” -them, probably /s

Yeah let’s make shit up that’ll show em
If only they had the common sense to be angry at white pigs too
This is the platonic ideal of critical support.
I bet he had a gun too!
I mean, being real, I’d be less worried if it was some random dude.
But, whoever called that in just saw some dude in dark clothing fucking around. Unless you get the right line of sight, you aren’t going to be able to see the few shiny bits on the typical dark blue uniforms. Especially not with a flashlight bouncing around, while you’re looking out a window carefully.
Frankly, if a cop isn’t wearing something bright enough to be seen through a dirty window and it be obvious it’s a cop, it’s on them if someone sics an angry goat on them.
In our town the police day shift wears the shiny bits and bobs, and the night shift is entirely flat black including even a black embroidered badge.
The caller recognized that he was wearing police clothing, how else would he identify that he’s a cop other than his uniform? They saw a black man in police uniform and assumed he was pretending to be a cop.
Fuck me. That’s what I get for not verifying things via tts
i wonder how differently the cops would act if we made them wear bright pink instead
Honestly, I’ve called cops on cops before, no need for them to be black. One because they were an undercover cop who did not identify themselves adequately and acted suspiciously, second another (or maybe the same) undercover cop that was driving recklessly through the streets almost causing accidents without even a cop light/siren. I’d probably even call if they were in uniform and acted suspiciously enough so dispatch could double check. Cops are workers and they are human, they are not above you or illicit activities themselves, recordings have proved this. I would call, just not place the blame on them while just sticking to why the circumstances aroused concern.
And even generally, calling official numbers to confirm a situation is even something that is increasingly becoming necessary with the number of scams coming out. I realize racism was probably a factor here, specially if they are calling while cop cars are outside and there is clearly a crime scene being investigated, but seriously, don’t think this means you have to think twice about reporting suspicious activity if they are cops.
That’s what you get for being a race traitor, buddy.

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.
Living as a hammer that sees everything as a nail is not a virtue, it’s a flaw.
The police always tell the public that they should call authorities if they aren’t sure about someone pulling you over or at the door. Until you do such things to be cautious, and suddenly you’re the bad person for not immediately obeying. Double standard.
