At least he liked his job.

Does ACAB apply to RoboCop?
its difficult, i haven't reallyconsidered it, but given that Robocop is a satire the rules may in my opinion be bent.
the detroit police are blue collar workers employed by the comically corrupt and incompetent OCP corporation, which directly funds the cartoon criminal gangs that terrorize the police and citizenry of the city. Robocop is a completely unethical experiment intended to replace human workers with automated undead slaves, but his commitment to duty is too strong and he actively battles the unfettered capitalist organizations that seek to control or destroy him.

Probably no, at least dude doesn't care about race, he apply police brutality the same for everyone.

I've mentioned this before but not only is he resurrected so he can continue to work, but he's property now.
Also, Murphy's lack of agency due to this status was further exploited in the movie by scabbing a strike.
All this (satirically) suggests that, were death itself available as slavery and union-busting loophole, someone would exploit it given the chance.

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.

Yeah... I'm glad that I can quit a shitty job, at least!

Is that movie any good?
Not really according to the Drinker.

I can forgive union busting when it's police. They have zero solidarity with the rest of the working class.

Yea but he felt a duty to do his job and liked doing it. Most of us would be those failed experiments that immediately merc ourselves once turned back on.
Do you like your job? They're probably just simulating you because you outperform LLMs.

Fuck The Critical Drinker.
Him saying a film is bad should be enough to go and watch it.

Does ACAB apply to RoboCop?
No, but he's also a fictional character.

He is a right wing nut job. His opinion on anything holds little weight.

It's almost like there's a connection to be drawn here
