National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by Donald Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.
Protesters clashed with soldiers on Sunday afternoon after a crowd gathered near the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown. Images captured by CBS News Los Angeles showed members of the National Guard using what appeared to be tear gas and firing non-lethal rounds toward some groups of demonstrators.
Large-scale protests have sprouted throughout L.A. County including in the Westlake District, downtown L.A. and Paramount, and have escalated to violence on several occasions, following a large-scale operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday. A federal law enforcement official tells CBS News that multiple federal law enforcement officers were injured during confrontations with protesters on Friday and Saturday.
There are good cops out there, and we need to recognize them.
But we certainly can’t assume any given cop is one of them, and there are lots of bad cops playing Good Cop making it even harder.
no “good cop” turns in the bad cops, that makes them accessories in the eyes of the law. so take you good cop and shove it up your as bootlicker
The reason “ACAB” is a thing is that “good cops” pretty quickly either cease to be good or cease to be cops (e.g. Frank Serpico).
That’s why the “a few bad apples” analogy applies: because they spoil the bunch. The whole bunch, without exception.
All Cops means all cops
