Very wrong!
It's possible not to have police and have a successful society, there are several things that must be done in order to achieve it, such as improving social services, access to food, changing the prison system to genuinely be reformative rather than punitive, legalisation of all drugs (Yes all of them) abolishing capitalism and many other things but it's possible, you're just being brainwashed into thinking they are genuinely needed.
Of course I do realise that the corporations and their state slaves wouldn't allow it and the horrid economic system they utilise encourages crime, so maybe what we clearly need is to get rid of Capitalism worldwide, it'd solve a lot of our problems.
If there are no police, there is no one to arrest the rapist or murderers and put them in prison in the first place. How can you have prison reform , if you have no one to arrest them? If I am sleeping and someone is trying to break into my home, who do you call if there is no police? While waiting for the police to arrive, I would try to hide or escape for my protection, but if the police are never going to arrive, I wouldn't be able to return home and they would just either wait for me, come looking for me , or rob and/or destroy my home. or all of the above. None of that makes any sense.
It is not possible to change
current society to function without police. We already have massive gangs that commit crimes here already. On the reservation when they know that the tribe cannot arrest them they just go on crime sprees instead raping, robbing and attacking people at will since ONLY the feds can arrest them. Without local police empowered to be able to arrest people more people are raped, abused and murdered. That w as why they created police in the first place. Vigilante justice is just mob rule and that has been proven to be a horrific way to live in our history. It was mob rule who burned down Black wall Street. It was gangs of white men who came through the reservation and raped women at will ( still do). It was Mob rule when they lynched black people in the south. Mob rule is not the answer here, we actually need police to protect people FROM the mob. Bringing back public lynching's is no way an improvement here. This would give these far right militias free reign to do whatever they wanted. To think otherwise is a fantasy.
I am not being " brainwashed" to think I need it, I HAVE needed the police repeatedly throughout my life. I have had to call the police often, especially when I bartended in college because there are too many violent idiots in this world. We had people trying to come shoot up the bar on multiple occasions. Life is pretty scary as it is would be even worse if you weren't " just waiting for police" to arrive,. If no help was coming, things would not have turned out as well as they did. Hell I likely wouldn't still be here right now.
Let's see SOME of the times I or someone where I was called the cops..
My ex tried to kill me twice, stabbed my neighbor trying to break into my home after I moved twice and had protective orders against him. My neighbor saved my life when he stopped him from breaking in, I saved his by calling the cops they arrived while they were still struggling.
men broke into my neighbors home and were stealing his guns.
Men broke into elderly woman's home and tried to tie her up and rob her.
Man held a kid at gunpoint in the parking lot making them beg for their life
Man was threating to shoot everyone at the bar ( happened multiple)
Woman raped in the bathroom at the bar. ( happened multiple times)
Guy ran people over in the parkinglot on purpose
Man attacked staff at the clinic
Gang fight broke out in the ER
violence in the ER ( all the time)
Men beating women in bar and or parkiglot ( happens all the tme)
Man attacked pastries and was tryin to ejaculate on people in the parkinglot
men attacked me while walking and tried to pull me into their truck and took my jacket ( the man grabbed me and I managed to slip out of my jacket so that was all he had in his hand when I got away)
Men tried to or did attack me at work ( multiple times, one ripped my shirt the other had a knife, others just wouldn't take no for an answer)
And MORE. SO yea, I for one think I need to be able to call police. I think we need to reform police, and the entire justice system, but eliminating them is not an option as far as I am concerned.
