I don’t think its too spicy, I just think it isn’t very smart or strategic.
The ACAB crowd obviously doesn’t love Harris precisely because she’s a cop, but as Transient Punk pointed out, the ACAB crowd didn’t choose Harris and don’t represent most of the Democratic party, who skew right-wing. (Whereas the back-the-blue types overlap much more with uncritical enthusiasm for Trump, who they see as an innocent man who has been wrongfully convicted by a corrupt and politically motivated justice system.)
The Democratic coalition made up of progressive, leftists, and more right-wing liberals holds together by pragmatically overlooking these divisions and cooperating against the even-further-right, and this meme sows division right before a major election where Democrats are divided (e.g. over Israel) and having a hard time unifying.
In that sense this meme will get a reaction, but again not because it is spicy but because it is divisive.

that was articulated well. it’s accurate but will still draw scepticism.
Anything with nuance will evoke skeptical ire
This guy used the word “nuance!” GIT 'IM!!!
Eh I don’t think it’s that divisive. We can still rally behind Kamala while being self aware.
