Does ACAB apply to RoboCop?
Twice the capacity for violence, the same qualified immunity so... Yes.
I agree. Murphy's humanity is what sets him apart from the wishes of OCP, and is ultimately what saves the day.
To me, the whole ACAB thing implies that people have agency and can make moral and ethical choices on the job. Yet we see police do unethical and amoral things given the chance. Murphy is unable to deviate from his programming, yet in the grey areas where he can make a choice, tends to make the right one.
Probably no, at least dude doesn't care about race, he apply police brutality the same for everyone.
No, but he's also a fictional character.
Jesus christ just fuck off with the ACRAP already.
Some body has a bad day.
