ACAB is based on the idea that even if an individual cop is a “good” one, the system they’re in makes them either stay silent about their bad coworkers’ behavior (making them bad, too), or pushes them out of the system, leaving only bad ones.
It’s possible to have a system without that dynamic, and I’d be shocked if no country has achieved it.
Perhaps one day, the US can.
If ACAB were universal across space and time, we should just give up trying to fix the systemic issues that result in ACAB.

I’m with you, but I’m having trouble thinking of a single country that has achieved it.
I’m not with you. I think that’s wrong and you have no examples.
If ACAB is universal across space and time, then we should give up on having police.
