police is a relatively recent invention, 2-3 centuries ago many countries didn't have it.
Now they are getting involved in more and more interpersonal issues, and I am not clear that the same people should be dealing with murderers and get called into schools when kids do something nasty
- ajuc 4y agoThe main problem with police in USA is that everybody can have a gun so police carries guns and are quick to shoot. The solution isn't to abolish/defund/whatever the police. It's to introduce gun control. Police in my country uses guns against people less than 20 times a year. About 100 times if you include shooting into air or against animals. Because nobody has guns - criminals don't have guns (it just increases stakes for no benefit). So police don't carry guns and aren't in hurry to shoot. So there's almost no gun deaths. So everybody is much more chill when a crime happens. People will still be racist but at least it doesn't convert into deaths so easily.
