About

Repeat After Me, All Cops Are Bastards is a TikTok Trend where people joke about upholding their principles on certain issues of identity politics and media representation. For instance, someone could think that gay characters should be depicted by gay actors, but have a soft spot for a specific depiction. The sound originated near the end of September 2022 by a TikToker discussing exceptions to their belief in the phrase ACAB.

Origin

On September 20th, 2022, TikToker[1] @iamwandawakanda posted a video saying "All cops are bastards" to various media depictions of police officers, and slowly faltering as they reacted to their favorites, including Law And Order: SVU, and Brooklyn Nine Nine. The post gathered over 1.7 million plays and 390,000 likes in nearly three weeks (seen below). Their video also became the TikTok sound that later iterations of the trend utilized.

The video gathered over 700,000 plays and 100,000 likes in nearly three weeks (seen below, left). On October 1st, TikToker[3] @whittymoon participated in the trend as well, this time rating anime cops and gathering over 300,000 plays and 40,000 likes in over a week (seen below, right).
