You are likely familiar with the innumerable heinous actions of the New York City Police Department, including the raid on the Stonewall Inn in June 1969, which led to a six-day uprising that changed the shape of the LGBTQ rights movement and launched what we now know as Pride. In fact, beginning in 2021, Heritage of Pride, the nonprofit organization that runs the official parade in NYC, banned cops from marching in their uniforms or recruiting at the event, until at least 2025 “This action was a step in the path of transformative justice affirming our commitment to eliminating violence, harm, and abuse at NYC Pride events,” the group said in its policy, despite pushback from police pal Mayor Eric Adams.
That hasn’t stopped the NYPD from pretending to be good friends to the queer and trans community; they’ve even been rolling out rainbow cop cars over the past few years. This year’s cars are something special — whomstever designed them sneaked ACAB onto them. Under the rainbow it says All Colors Are Beautiful, which is not a Pride slogan that makes any kind of sense other than to use the exact same letters for the acronym All Cops Are Bastards.
Labor activist Jorts the Cat alerted us to this magnificence last night on Twitter.

Some people think this is an “innocent” “mistake” but I think it is a stroke of subversive artistic genius. I look forward, once again, to a cop-free Pride here in NYC and would like to plug my personal favorite ACAB art: These All Cats Are Beautiful cat rescue tees. I’ve also got a thread going here of indie creators making cool things from Pride, including a trans raccoon named Egg that’s the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.
If you’re an indie creator selling #Pride things, thread ‘em here! And RT far and wide, friends! 🌈🧡💪

Happy Pride, friends! Sending you love and joy and my lil southern voice in your head telling you to stay hydrated!
So with that logic BLM = Blue Lives Matter ?
For some reason, whenever I see “blue lives matter”, the first thing which comes to mind is the 2005 UNICEF Smurf genocide commercial.
No, because it could still mean Bureau of Land Management, which one sometimes sees when in nature.
happy pride, Heather!
You sure it was an accident? ;)
This is brilliant! I want to buy that designer a beer.
I wasin favor of this but I looked it up all colors are beautiful was actually used by liberals to make fun of all cops are bastards
Cops co-opted I’m afraid
I love to see labor activist Jorts the cat getting credit for this scoop.
While it’s important to support and celebrate Pride, we at vue js development support it. It’s unfortunate that the NYPD accidentally painted “ACAB” on their Pride cop cars. Attention to detail is crucial, especially when it comes to messaging on vehicles representing a police force. Hopefully, this incident serves as a reminder for organizations to ensure accuracy and sensitivity in their public displays. Let’s continue to work towards fostering inclusivity and understanding within our communities.
This is hilarious, but it never would’ve happened if they had gone to a real quality car paint shop.

I don’t think that such restrictions on the police in New York are good. I always liked police work, when I first played police and fireman games on https://bestallgames.com I got the desire to become a police officer in the future and I hope that after school I will join the police academy. I think the police should have more powers and fewer restrictions.
