The ACAB people have never been opposed to laws or prosecution of criminals. The problem is that the cops and their powerful friends tend to be immune to those laws.
It's certainly true that some laws and some sentencing ranges are unjust, but that's different from saying that laws themselves ought not exist. And although we've seen several high profile cases recently where prosecutors are clearly dirty as hell, that's probably less common than the dirtiness ratio among the pigs.
Prosecutors are like cops more than they are different. They work with them day to day. They have the power to charge the bad ones with crimes, but they rarely do, and even then they often overcharge or put up a poor case so the cop goes free. They also overcharge people to force plea deals and avoid trials. This goes double for those who can't afford bail and have to spend years in jail waiting for a trial. Prosecutors are every bit as bad and corrupt as the police.
these are their stories
