When you tell someone you’re an abolitionist, usually the first response is something about “bad apples” and how “it’s not all cops.”
Whether or not you believe that, you must see that the system itself is rotten to the core. Policing is a cult. Cops will protect cops for no other reason than their uniform. That’s a problem. A big one.
