No friend, no helper

There are numerous reasons to criticize and express disdain for the police force, leading people to spray-paint 1312 on walls or wear it on shirts. These reasons range from instances like NSU 2.0, racial profiling, crackdowns on demonstrations, the deportation of refugees, institutional discrimination by law enforcement agencies, to the killing of prisoners while in police custody. The state's authority upholds the status quo, defends capital, and supports the existing system with all its associated negative consequences, such as discrimination, exploitation, and the destruction of the planet. For us, this justifies spreading the message of 1312 or ACAB to the world.

1312: Meaningful polemics.

We understand that the slogan behind ACAB or 1312 carries a certain level of polemic. 1312 or ACAB does not imply that every individual working as a police officer is inherently cruel or solely responsible for objectionable police actions. Rather, it signifies the necessary criticism of the institution of the police. The concise and polarizing nature of the ACAB acronym or the numeric code 1312 helps draw attention and create awareness.
