Assigned Cop At Birth. When the birth profession of the person does not match with their actual profession confusion might arise, hence this term designating people who were born as sworn-in police officers.

This term is useful for people who no longer wish to be police officers, despite it being their identity for their entire lives. ACABs may present differently from other police.
Person one: How do you identify?
Person two: Well I was ACAB, but now I identify as more of a real estate agent.

modern term that stands for "all cops are bastards"

IT DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE NO GOOD COPS.

it means the system is bastardized and unfair; see the blm protests and George floyd, breonna taylor, ahmaud arbory etc. etc.
bruh why are you against cops they literally work so hard to keep you safe.
I'm mad that the system is based off of white supremacy and is more unfair to minorities. ACAB!
