Police literally don’t prevent crimes. Both officially and unofficially their job is not to prevent crime.

- Pulcinella 4y agoYeah man the Police in Parkland and Uvalde sure did deter any potential school shooters… https://communityresourcehub.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/0726_PoliceDontStop_C.pdf https://communityresourcehub.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeShaney_v._Winnebago_County https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeShaney_v._Winnebago_County https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of_Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of_Castle_Rock_v._Gonza...
- the_only_law 4y agoThey managed to deter concerned parents though, gotta give the some credit.
- wussboy 4y agoMaybe officially and unofficially, but the state monopoly on violence (of which the police is a part) absolutely reduces violence and prevents crime. See “Better Angels” for a discussion of why. Or go right back to Leviathan.
