Racism is the most ridiculous. Private law enforcement might be the solution. City cops cant seem to get it right. As soon as cops stop the BS...citizens will start feeling better. All this is law enforcement's fault. Fire them all. (The bad ones)The video has made me emotional.Lately I have been very upset watching the news.
Spread the word and ideas from the video....
Most of us would agree defunding our police is the most ridiculous idea ever expressed......and the second is the 6 block "Republic of CHAZ" or "CHAP" in downtown Seattle, taken over by anarchists who have no use for the police and have thrown them out......
This crap needs to end.
I need a pill to chill out
Take a look here. Or do your own research. Nearly 40% of murders go unsolved. 70% of robberies go unsolved. Isn't that insane? How can we possibly do worse than that?
At a minimum there need be strict and heavily enforced requirements for the use of lethal force.
Unless a cop is actually shot at, or is rescuing a person being shot at, there should be no excuse for shooting someone.
So yeah, abolish is the right goal here.
The positive outcome would be communities no longer in fear. The coming to fruition will take courage and a commitment to "serving" and protecting. Good cops could probably participate. But the biggest help would be the diverted funds I'd imagine.OK, now have you really thought this through to the end?
How exactly do you see this coming to fruition and resulting in a positive outcome?

I rarely see police, and I rarely see crime. I dont think people are good because of police.A lot of people agree that change might be needed but not nearly as many people have the time or inclination to make the change happen.
If the powers that the police have were relaxed there are just too many people waiting to capitalise. The unfortunate truth in almost all areas, jobs, races, religions etc is that a few will spoil it for the majority.
We will always need police with power to protect us. The side effect of that's going to be a certain amount of corruption and excess of force.
The pain and grief caused by some people in authority is terrible but would pale in comparison to what would be dealt out by people in a world without them.
I rarely see police either but that's mainly because they are vastly understaffed, underpaid, underfunded and undertrained. I see a lot of crime.I rarely see police, and I rarely see crime. I dont think people are good because of police.
What happens with the other 60% of serious crime? Who catches the criminals? Did crime "go down" or was it just reported way less because of the lack of a police force? What were the migration statistics for the city immediately before and after the police were fired? Have conviction rates gone up or down as a percentage in relation to "arrests" (or whatever they do now). What is the population density? What is the diversity in races and religions? Was it a particularly crime ridden city to start with or was it a 40 percent drop of an already small amount? Is there any way to know that the new system has no corruption? Are there any rehabilitation statistics with repeat offender statistics to compare to those before the firing of the police force? What's taken the place of the police force? Without knowing the full story it not easy to know whether or not it has been a success.Camden, city of 70k people has successfully fired all police and restarted from ground up. Serious crime rate went down by 40% immediately and had stayed at the low level for 7 years now.

Well, you can google the full story, can't you?
Yes, it was crime ridden city.
They might have hired the same number into new and different force, so, no, it is not underreporting. Instead, it is being more integrated into community.
They rehired about 25% of the force, might have had better stats if they did not perhaps.
New corruption or not, for a city to lose almost half of its crime rate is huge. That is lots of saved lives, physical and mental trauma, property etc.
