    Every time I see the idiots calling for abolishment of the police, I never see anything remotely approaching a viable replacement for what they should be doing.

    We’re not solving murder, rape, burglaries, drunk driving, general assaults, etc overnight. And we’re certainly not within a five year plan of solving those things either.

    So yeah, hardline abolishment fanatics can shove off. Come back with actual solutions, even if they arent perfect, thanks.

      To be fair cops arent solving those problems either. also theres plenty of essays around the nuances of this subject for you to explore and analyze if you look it up… not that we’re all depending on you and your validation anyway

        These aren’t solvable problems, they will always exist. But while they can’t be solved they can be mitigated. Saying murders happen therefore the concept of having police is wrong is ignoring the fact that there can be more or less murders. Less murders is good even if not perfect.
