ppl rlly saying b99 an exception to acab?? 🤢🤢 as someone who’s watched every episode of b99 and hates herself for it, i’m this fkn close to making a thread of scenes from the show itself that just scream ACAB NO EXCEPTIONS
SO in the very first episode, sergeant jeffords, dude who seems to have his heart in the right place, kinda guy we meant to imagine when thinking good cop, shows us how stupid it is to give someone a gun and say if you have any reason to think they’re bad, shoot them.
few minutes later we learn that a white man and white-passing latina have a bet to see who bags more arrests that year that's resulted in them arresting a lot more people.
can we pretend this extra motivation allowing them to solve more cases w utmost due diligence? no. its look people are just numbers to me and ima find the first person that matches a couple likely coincidental hints and arrest them so i can go on an 8th grade date w my colleague
same episode also shows us the racist and queerphobic shit that makes it near impossible for non-white straight men to go up the ranks but ima focus this thread only on the main cast being acab cuz thats who ppl seem to think are good cops bc they cute and clumsy 🥰🥳😻👯‍♀️🌸💫🧚‍♀️
next episode we meant to think that jake not caring about little details and paperwork for a MURDER CASE is cute cuz aww he still a kid at heart.
we also meant to think him mislabelling evidence making a confession worthless is stupid bureaucracy as if innocent people aren't incarcerated daily despite a lack of evidence as a result of forced confessions.
this episode is just batman fanfic. we introduced to the first person rlly worth rooting for but ofc it becomes not about world sucks cops suck but about rich white kid with daddy issues must be held accountable for painting by grown white man hero cop
