Lmao, I defended myself against a bully in school and the pigs didn't even do any investigation and took the school admin's word for it and arrested me for "Agravated Assault"
They then did a "diversion" that basically I have to promise not to commit a crime for 6 months (like bitch, do I look like a fucking criminal to you?) and then case would be dismissed, and crucially, it did not include an admission of guilt, so I took it. But if it had included an admission of guilt, I'd fucking fight that shit to the end. Pull the CCTV, motherfuckers, see if that's enough evidence.
Also, I learned that (via internet searches) if you are under 18, you do not get a right jury trial, but it also simultaneously can potentially have the same impact as an adult conviction. That's was the most bullshit thing I've learned.
Oh wanna know some more bullshit I learned? USCIS can see all juvenile records for the past 5 years, even arrests that didn't result in conviction (or technically, for juveniles, it's called being "adjundicated delinquent"), even if sealed, expunged, or even pardoned, which could come into play if you aren't a citizen (which, thank god figuatively, that I had derived citizenship from my mother's naturalization, imagine the shitshow on the other, even shittier timeline).
(Also, USCIS can see ALL adult records, even arrests that didn't result in conviction, doesn't matter if sealed, expunged, or pardoned. They see it all. Fucking bullshit.)
I did not really had ACAB sentinments before, but now I've been radicalized by the police and I'll fucking say ACAB, and now I'm very sympathetic towards anarchist movements.
I think the failure of the phrase ACAB is that it pins the problems of the system just on cops. Corrupt lawmakers, judges, district attorneys, prosecutors, and defenders all play into this as well. Lawmakers made the laws defer to cops over citizens, judges treat a cops word as more truthful than a citizens, same with district attorneys and prosecuting attorneys. They're all scratching each others back in a sick system where nearly all of them are essentially above the law. Cops are enabled by all the other groups.
TWSIAB.
