Explaining ACAB to white family members
[image description: three watercolor paintings done in a blue, red, and yellow color scheme explaining the anti-police movement.
the first image shows two stylized faces: one with a hand holding a sign that says “ACAB” and the other with a speech bubble saying, “What does ACAB mean?”
the second image shows a stylized face with a speech bubble saying “ACAB stands for All Cops Are Bastards. This does not negate that individual cops are not capable of good, rather it highlights that the system is corrupt and beyond reform. There are no ‘good’ cops as they stand beside the unjust actions of the institution and continue to harm black people.”
the third image shows the same stylized face saying, “Your positive experiences with cops, who may be relatives or friends, does not negate the fact that the institution is violent and unjust. It is built on systematic racism and must be remade for the safety of our communities.” end description]
