    Shouldn’t exist in the first place is a wild take. I know its just ignorant idealism. I wanna live where you do, where everyone is nice and rape/murder/violent assault doesn’t happen.

      Where you live there must be no rape/murder/violence because the police stop it all?

      Empowered communities able to defend themselves are a much better method of preventing and stopping crime than policing is.

        Have any evidence of that aside from hope/idealism? I’m big on realistic solutions. Having zero is impossible, my assertion is that the number is less based on having a police presence/a number you can call to have humans show up vs not having one.
