You did, by dismissing their agency in the matter. Again, who gives a fuck if they weren’t the ones who made the call? They enforced the draconian measures, they are just as to blame.
No, it is, they decide whether to make the arrest or not. They decided to violate the first amendment, and embraced a bad faith request by a cynical and corrupt local lawmaker bought out by the tech industry.
That is no cop out that they were “ordered” from a city council member, they take an oath to protect and defend the constitution, and other laws, and don’t get to cop out to following orders in violating the freedom of speech, and other laws and decency in such a transparent abuse of power in service of tech.
It doesn’t matter, they did the will of whoever made the call. That’s why we say ACAB, because cops either enforce the will of the ruling class (thus making them bastards) or they lose their jobs and stop being cops.
ACAB has always been a message of class struggle and how all of us have to stand tall and refuse to betray our class interests. Cops betray working class interests for a paycheck and a feeling of superiority.
ACAB
while I don’t disagree with your statement, I’m certain that it was not the cops who made this call.
Who gives a shit? You don’t give a Nazi a pass because they were “just following orders”, do you?
Who gave a pass?

I specifically agreed to them being bastards, obviously in this context. they are just as to blame. sure thing… I even confirmed that.

I never indicated that that cops did anything right here, did i?
You dismissed their agency in the matter, thus giving them a pass.
I agreed with the acab, but also asked for credit for those who ordered it
You didn’t ask for anything though, you made a statement. If your intent was to ask for something, then you should restate it as a question.
I see, you need everything spelled out.
Lmao, fuck off jackass, now you’re just being a troll.
So they were just… following orders?
yes, and they are to blame. but so are those who gave the orders.
So ACAB+

If you read my comment, I did agree with the blame being put on the cops. I just wanted to also highlight the politicians who made the call.
You mean like someone hacked their brain stems and was controlling them remotely? Yeah, that is a problem…
while the cops are blame (I agreed with the ACAB statement) I also deserve the higher ups are to be blamed.
