    Agree with sentiment but this seems like a less great idea.

    Actual fascist departments aren’t going to hire a queer person to make a queer police car, these where the ones most likely to be reformable.

    Compare it with Minecraft piglings, none are truly friendly, brutes will kill you and any may randomly start attacking you unless your appearance is specific (wearing gold) but when you are walking near a piglins that is being passive, don’t be the one to start hitting.

    In retrospect it is for pride month and temporary so was probably gone already before they noticed.

      Considering how tone deaf I’ve seen them be, I wouldn’t be surprised if the department intentionally did this to try and subtly start changing the meaning of ACAB.

        I don’t believe so, if you understood my piglin analogy they are all bastards by design because thats how the system is build, but that doesn’t make them all explicitly enemies. Progressive left cops do exists. Cops that believe they can improve the system also exist.

        The difference is that we know the system is fundamentally broken and that their actions in the end only aid the fascist momentum. Ignorance is not the same as evil.

      This is NYPD who are notorious for how insanely corrupt and awful they are. You could possibly have some argument here if this was some random city, but not with NYPD.

      Clearly you know little to nothing about the NYPD. It’s basically the biggest international fascist paramilitary group in the world.
