I am very much from the whole ACAB point of view when it comes to cops, to the point where I notice that the hostility I have towards them is often active contempt, if not outright hate.
I find myself watching a LOT of bodycam footage, it started with "Audit the Audit" and "CopWatch," which increased due to the algorithm, of course, until I find myself watching totally rando ones too.

Oddly, and perhaps paradoxically, the effect this has had on me has been noticeable.
I still hate them, don't get me wrong, I am just not as militant as I once was.
Seeing SOME of these cops actually having human emotions and responding like decent humans can have that effect, I suppose. [though it's still very few.]
[I was also impressed with how steady some of those fuckers can hold a pistol out with two hands while running with all that gear on, too, lol]
