    I know it’s a joke, but why would a shapeshifter 350 years into the future on a planet 50 lightyears away be guilty of any of the same prejudices that our local cops are?

      Never ask:

      • A woman her age.

      • A man his salary.

      • Odo what he did during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor.

      The A in ACAB stands for “ALL.” Even to 350 year old shapeshifters in a totally different part of the galaxy, hundreds of years from now.

      And I mean, just look at his record from the Occupation. He did some fucked up shit.

        If you actually watched the episodes you’d know that a) he didn’t do fucked up shit, he made a mistake and b) he actually cared about justice and c) he not only knew about the mistake, it was eating him up inside.

      Because that’s what the artist decided to draw. Maybe Kira has it for someone she knows who identifies as a lesbian. Maybe she was just getting into the spirit of things and grabbed the first flag she saw.

      Obviously in canon Kira only expresses interest in dudes with the personalities of dry toast, but mirror Kira is a bit more open. It’s not entirely clear if sexual orientation is 1:1 across universes, so who’s to say if prime Kira experiences same sex attraction or not?

      In the US cops:

      • Take trans kids away from supportive parents in states with laws against that
      • Selectively target LGBT people for unequal enforcement of often unconstitutional laws (ex: obscenity laws)
      • Disproportionately use force against trans people (more than 1/4th according to the ACLU).

      Imagine how much it would fuck you up if a cop kicked you around, threw you in lockup with the wrong gender, and then you see the shit stain getting paid to be at Pride.

      And just being there, getting paid to do nothing is the best you can hope for. Plenty of times they just watch bigots harass or attack the people at Pride and either do nothing or arrest the victims.

      Cops who want to come to Pride out of uniform on their own time because they’re LGBT+ or whatever, most people don’t care about that.
