CMV: ACAB is hate speech

I have attended numerous protests over the last month seeking justice for George Floyd and others.  However, one thing I refuse to accept is this ACAB acronym which has been flying around.  To me, it’s hate speech.  If we took this format All X are Y in a negative connotation and had it apply to any group of people, it would be a prejudiced stereotype.  How about if I said, “All muslims are terrorists” or “All black people are thugs” “All white people are racist” “All protesters are looters” and since someone will say police is a job, let’s throw in “All car salesmen are sleezy” for good measure.  These are all awful racist/prejudiced stereotypes about groups of people which are not true, and any one of those above statements would constitute hate speech.  ACAB apologists will say that it refers to the “system” police work for.  If it truly would refer to the system, then why not have a saying such as “The system is bad” or “Change the system” Instead, an acronym is used which generalizes every member of a group, in this case, the police, which is in fact what racists do. You can’t fight racism by using the racist’s playbook.

Police aren’t a protected class. You can take off the badge and uniform and nobody would know you’re a cop. 

You cannot stop being Black, Hispanic, gay, trans. So comparing the two isn’t fair because one is a choice the other is not.
