Dan Barrett thinks A.C.A.B. (1) is new, (2) means All Cops Are Bad, and (3) “is used in the ongoing conversation around the depiction of cops on TV”. I’m left to wonder: does Australia not have access to search engines? Literally the first four results on Google are: A.C.A.B. - Wikipedia (“A.C.A.B. is an acronym meaning ‘All Cops Are Bastards’”), A Brief History of ACAB | GQ (“If you don’t know already, it means ‘All Cops are Bastards’”), ACAB - ADL (“The acronym ACAB stands for ‘All Cops Are Bastards’”), and ACAB - Urban Dictionary (“All Cops Are Bastards”).
