Does ACAB include Sam Vimes? What about detective Joe Miller and lieutenant Harry DuBois? What is the purpose of law enforcement in any case? How would a fantasy world be policed? How does policing affect the soul of a character? What even is a police officer? Who the hell was Robert Peel? These questions will be answered and answers questioned when we together scrape the surface of law enforcement, inequality, capitalism, police brutality, and justice. We shall also be talking about how this might translate to LARPs and TTRPGs.
