Believe me, im in to the thematic and the police as a whole needs reformation, especially the error-culture. But still: Is “ACAB” the right answer to this problems?

Naturalism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalism and Bilogism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_determinism were a relevent movement in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuary. And for parts of the “Lebensreform” Bewegung https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensreform it was en vogue to be vegetarian or vegan. It was not a totally fascist movement, but some members were hard core racist and ableistic. The NSDAP claimed some of their values, and formed it into their own propaganda. FE:

• Fkk into nazi body cult a la Leni Riefenstahl
• Healthy, natural lifestyle in general into an arian, healthy lifestyle for a society ready to fight
• esoteric views into their own arian pseudo-religion

So as part of this, hitler was a propagandizing vegetarian. And Hitler and other leading nazis were some kind of “animal rights activist” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany

Some of this values are deeply printed into the NSDAP and are so part of today Nazis in Germany. “Nazi-Hippies” (as people in my bubble are caling them), are still a thing here.

As far as i remeber, the German Green Party had in the founding times problems with Nazis in the party.

If you want better sources, i can only give you german Documentaries from arte or dlf. Im just an interessted dude and not a historian or teacher. Im not prepared to present sources in English :)

Obviously you know a thing or two about german police, so you know that the police forces are federal leaded; so the police from Hamburg can be very diferent to the police from Hessen, or Lower-Saxony etc. So if you know some people from one federal police, doesent mean you know them all. Fe: The police from Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony are known for the very liberal and kind way of working, Bavaria and Hamburg on the other hand are known as straight law-and-order cops. Further more: I only know 2 people from the police in NRW, one was a socialist, good hearted criminal inspector from Cologne (father of a friend) and the other is an patrol officer from Düsseldorf. The patrol officer is a unpolitical working class guy, but has a good sense for whats good or bad. I know him from Alt Rock Festivals.

2015 and the rising numbers of refugees and the was a severe tests for the democratic values of our society. In every bubble I know (working class, farmers, academics, city folks, town folks, people from migrant families), a lot of people said and did weird stuff, and some got catched by fascist propaganda. Especially working class, farmers and town folks had in my experience a high amount of fascist and racist views. A friend of mine is working in a hospital as a nurse. He was facing racism from colleagues against patients on a daily basis. He had to fight a lot, to make his colleagues think about what they are saying. And then came covid-19, a much more intense test. Today I witness a more reflected and differentiated view. The bubbles far away from the academic ivory tower are more sensitive for discrimination and fascism or undemocratic behavior. So if you witnessed a change of view by police officers, it was probably more of general view in the working class - and most police officers are more working class then academica.

2024 a lot of people got killed by police forces in Germany. This is a tragedy. And we have to lower the numbers. To make a relation between uprising facism inside police forces and people shot by police is at least bold. Especially if you look at the cases in detail. As far as I know its more of problem of our psychological treatment and a rising number of people in need for psychological/psychiatric help.

Where did you get your informations about illegal police force against leftist, poor people, migrants and refugees / asylum seekers? I dont know how deep you digged into criminology, but this is a really tricky topic. Its about the Dark and white figures of crimes. If you show me your source, probably I can explain it a little to you. But still: Illegetimate behavior by police officers, especially unlawfull force, against anybody is a severe problem in police forces. As far as I know its not a big problem in numbers, but as other forms of corruption, it does severe harm to our society and can lead to spirals of violence.

To your last part: The GDP (the by far major police union) and the BDK are fighting against the afd in the police. Fe. it is not allowed to be part of the afd as an GDP Member since 2021. And contrary to their usually unpolitical public statements, both unions condemn the afd. https://www.gdp.de/niedersachsen/de/stories/2025/05/2025-05-02-verfassungsschutzentscheidung-zur-afd-muss-ernst-genommen-werden https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/72365/5696490 And many federal states are trying to make the police force resilent against fascist propaganda. There a democracy-schoolings, fe. by lgbtqi+ police-officers. And the basic training nowadays includes sociology, psychology, criminology, anti-escaltiv trainings etc. to prevent radical views by training them to look through the daily mess of poverty, violence and misery they are facing day to day.

The Dpolg-leaders on the other hand are at least right-wing conservative populstists. In general they are just loud and are playing todays media. In parts because of them, Polizei Grün (police green) got founded. https://polizei-gruen.de/ And they try to work on some basic problems of the police, like their error-culture.

So… Are they all still bastards* to you?

Edit: *furthermore: the insult “bastards” is shit. Please, if you want to insult someone, use something else

You seem to know a lot about inner group dynamics of an institution that you dislike. Where do you got your informations? Especially that the problems are increasing?

And furthermore, for a mindplay, lets just assume, you are right. How would the “ACAB” be fitting in there? What is your intended effect of saying it out loud or posting it online? (Besides of beeing … edgy(?))

Wrong enough?

Vegetarism/veganism and National Socialism have in Germany (at least to some point) shared cultural roots.

Does someone have the original Comic?

When I entered Middleschool* one of the teachers in charge got me a single desk directly infront of the teachers desk, about 5m away from everybody else. As I remembered, he did this in our first class, without knowing me. And because I “forgot” my home work the first two weeks, I had 1h detention everyday for the rest of the year… It was a pain in the ass but kinda worked for me. My grades got up really fast. He and my class teacher were the reason I took the relevant turn in school to enter College* and university later on

My ADHD got officially diagnosed in my 30s. And back then there was little to no awareness for neuro diversity. For them it was just “a type of person” or “character”. Like some people are calm and dont like to talk much or some people have their issues to behave theirself. So it wasnt something tailored for ADHD. The teachers were acting intuitive and out of their working experience. They were both just before retirement.

*Im from europe, so I tried to translate it in the more commonly known american school system terms

I dunno. Lightly Entertainment is in my experience part of most larger News Papers. And it had been the past decades. Especially in the feuilleton. I mean, you cant pull a watergate out of your hat everyday. And a news paper has a lot of pages to be printed

What about the good ol “school” or “learning” folder?

And the cigarettes are missing

Nintendo just has a weird concept of protecting their property. Rowling instead is an arsehole

Why not both?

Im a big fan of the street rule “Ehrenschere” (Honor Scissors)

Both Players agree to take scissors on first turn and play a draw. You are free to take an other figure than scissors on first turn, but then you are “Ehrenlos” (honorless). Something, the street will remember :O

Depends on the country your are living in

Once I couldnt remember a drive of ~3 hours… Teleporting is real _.

First of all: My main issue was the photographing of a kid without obvious consent. The racism, as I said in the first post, is only the “garnishment.”

But still, its there. On a sub line. And Im willing to believe that the author isnt aware of the possibilty to interpret it this way. Its kinda nice, that you dont see this issue too. You have kinda “freed” yourself from this point of view. But on the other hand, you should be aware, that some poeple, with diferent bias, see things different. And if a right wing author would have posted this online, you would’ve thought about the post diferent too, I assume.

I dont want to write a detailed analysis of the picture to frame out every issue in detail and combined and write every possible interprations down, but I try to summarize it.

In this picture, a Kid, read as an Asian originated 13 year old boy, is photograhed. Obviously without clear consent. This is humilating for the kid and you could see this as an act of showing off power to him. He is quiet young and still has to work in the family bussines to keep it running. The family is very likely to be in need for customers, so he to needs to act as an servant and is unlikely to stand up for himself. The kid looks kinda nerdy and fulffills this way the cliche of the dilligent Kid from an asian family. The author isnt picturized, but the caption is in english and uses some kind of slang of the white majority for the offered food.

Or in short terms: A white person in power is humilating a servant, looking like a cliche-asian-kid.

Do you see it now?

Yeah, its all a interpretation. But the picture is either playing with this assumptions or is at least tolerating them. If you want to do this joke without this … stale aftertaste(?), you have to set frame different

You can often see the same picture in diferent ways. A well excuted joke is playing the diferent bias and point of views. I dont accuse the author to be a racist. Its think its just insensitive and unaware. Probably my coment(s) are leading to some thoughts and some kind of reflection. And if the author in the end decides its still a good joke, fair enough. There a lot more shitty “comedians” out there. I wont mind.
