I’d say outside the US there is generally less of that macho psuedo military ‘alpha male’ vibe and it is generally less tribal with internal protection, but there will always inherently be something problematic with a job that places people above their peers in power and the people that apply for it. Whilst many may do it entirely for good reasons there will always be bad actors. I dont really see ACAB as entirely true, even in america, but i think the role itself as a job will always be a problem in society.
Moreover, ACAB includes Harry Potter
Does ACAB extend outside the USA?

Why shouldn’t it?
It does. My friend just got back from Tel Aviv last week and he had some pictures of ACAB graffiti on buildings there.
I think we need datapoints from countries less authoritarian than the USA.

France : a local bar is L’ACABane dans les bois, “The cabin in the woods”. It should be spelled La cabane dans les bois.

Hilarious. Does it get raided often? I’d love it to be an ironic cop hangout.
Fair!
