Sure. But ACAB doesn't describe why the system is shit
Not clearly, no but does identify at least one type of actor in that system which is capable of change or reform.
IMO, at best, it identifies a symptom of the issue that requires change. Look, i don't agree with you about the optics and helpfulness of ACAB but I agree with you that police are a major problem in the US and I'd welcome reform.
It rolls of the tongue a bit nicer than:
"We must dismantle the Prison & Military Industrial Complex and divert those funds into Educating, Feeding, and Housing the working class!"
"the system sucks"
I know, Android is so much better that iOS
