The world is not black and white, of course. But if we’re talking about the modern day Republican party and it’s voters, it’s very clear what’s going on. I’m no intellectual, and neither are you, so let’s keep this respectful. I’ll repeat that eliminating our police force doesn’t mean not enforcing laws, but rather is rooted in how that effort is organized. Most crime is a direct result of poverty, if you want to effectively decrease crime, you need to improve people’s standards of living. Things like affordable housing projects, raising minimum wages, more paid vacation, better public transportation, cancelling student debt, decriminalization of drug possession and use, etc.
Our police force doesn’t want to decrease crime because our prisons are for-profit and they make more of they book more prisoners.
You can point fingers at me if you want. I guess? I haven’t participated in looting or rioting. My point was that it’s effective regardless of whether you support it.
Also, humanity enforced laws for a long time before our police system was designed.
