A.C.A.B. is thought to have originated with striking workers England in the 1940s, who shortened “ All Coppers are Bastards” to the present-day acronym. A Daily Mirror headline that included A.C.A.B. catapulted it to popular consciousness in 1970. The punk movement then spread it internationally as a slogan for anti-authoritarian resistance efforts, even as far away as Indonesia, where a fan of the soccer team Persija Jakarta died at the hands of police.
