Good to know they've responded to the people's critiques of policing by doubling down on the problem. I hope more people start taking seriously the idea that we don't need the police, and in fact any value they may offer society is simply not worth the violence. We could legitimately make our society function better by disbanding the police entirely
How would we deal with violent crime without a police force?
How would we have any violent crime without a police force to commit it?
Yes yes perfectly logical
I feel silly for not seeing it exactly that way before
You can move to a part of the world that doesn’t have police, right now, if you want to experience that life. Have fun!
how can you not see this was very obviously a joke based on the headline of the thread?
So obviously
see: Alaska
very high per capita rape and domestic abuse Police may commit a fair chunk of it, but certainly not all.
.... all you did with that comment is prove that you have no real answer. You went full idiot and only pushed away the people who were unsure about which side they're on. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you're a bootlicker troll and not just as dumb as you've made yourself look.
Buddy, if an off hand pun can change your political ideology it wasn't that strongly held to begin with.
