That policing needs to be reformed and ACAB are not synonymous statements to most people. Regardless of whether it’s because of a false narrative (and I agree with you on the matter), it’s not currently a majority opinion, and treating it like it is is a serious strategic mistake.
That’s insane to me, not saying you’re lying or wrong, but the only people I know who don’t believe ACAB are folks over 55 and those closely connected to the cops in their personal lives but even the latter isn’t a monolith. I for sure haven’t met a young person that wasn’t at least of the ‘fuck the police’ mindset since 2020

I know many folks who want reform of policing and realize there are deep problems with them. I don’t know anyone who believes ACAB.
Purely anecdotal, but it makes it easier to believe that you are correct and it’s not a vast majority of people who believe that.
