Damn.

Remind me - those were bastard who arrested the terrorist? Bastards, right? The AmericanCopsAreOnlyBastards brigade hasn't stopped by yet.

ACAB, it’s not complicated. The A stands for All. Catching a terrorist does not absolve you of all judgement

Yes, ACAB. Any actions taken by the police are for either protecting the interests of the wealthy and powerful, enforcing traditional/societal norms, or they’re basically a PR stunt. A terrorist attack in New York would potentially harm wealthy people, not to mention Wall Street and the larger economy. so it had to be stopped.
