No, ACAB is not a reasonable worldview in the first place. It’s very ignorant and intolerant. A society needs police, and most policepeople are good and sincere human beings.
Hey Dick, can I call you Dick? So, Dick, the problem people have with the police is summed up like this: We are tired of the jackboots not being accountable for their crimes against humanity.
Edit: my previous comment wasn’t de-escalation, it was bringing them up to speed in a way that would grab their attention. Seems like it ruffled your feathers as well.
The philosophy behind ACAB is that the American police system and its proponents abuse the system and work to keep each other from facing consequences. “Good cops” may enter the force, but they don’t last long, because those who don’t play along and look the other way eventually get ousted, whereas those they tattled on get rehired at a different station.
The idea isn’t that literally all cops ever will always be bastards. It’s that (under the current system) all cops are bastards.
You could say the same about ACABers suddenly becoming fans of police brutality 😏
“You say you wish you could cure heart disease, yet you cheer it on when it kills Henry Kissinger. Curious.”

That clear enough for you Dick?
You deescalate just as effectively as most police. I’m sure your addition to the discourse will help to bring people towards your viewpoint.

GOOD.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding.
