I've always thought "imprison people, quite literally take away all their freedoms," is obviously an EXTREME power for the government to have and can only be justified by "it is necessary to protect the people," and it wasn't until college I realized how many people disagree (1/2)
Being "tough on crime" is just a call for deterrence. And study after study has shown that deterrence doesn't work, except to sate society's demand for vengeance, to treat "criminals" cruelly. And THAT isn't even deterrence at all. It's retribution, and it precludes rehabilitation.

do you understand that "law enforcement" and "police" are not synonyms and in fact "police" have existed for a miniscule portion of human civilization

not to suggest cops can be "left wing" but they ARE territorial and hierarchical, so to an extent they can be swayed by who their boss is

there are no countries with good police

that's an irrelevant follow up to "can the police be run by good guys"

using the Feds to integrate schools etc was arguably unsuccessful but it did SOME suppression of fascist goals I guess

1) WE said "abolish the police." "Defund" was what YOUR guys came up with to oppose us, it was YOUR slogan.

2) "Defund" went from like 3% support to 40% support in under a year. it was an UNBELIEVABLY good slogan

heck, I'd settle for an FF Legend type game where you kill God and then the game developers, developed by Tim Sweeney and other game cretins

i like that the phrasing doesn't even say anything about causation, just a "link." like that sentence could describe "people with Alzheimer's pick their nose"

it's so weird to remember that they're there for NOTHING. at least during BLM there were preexisting protests and riots. now, like Chicago and other cities, the ONLY REASON they're there at all is to terrorize and kill in cities Trump doesn't like
