Whether you consent to policing or not, police exist, and they protect you from people who don't rely on consent.
You can't absolve yourself of that by simply denying it. You'd need to make it clear that anything you temporarily possess is free for the taking and that people are free to assault or kill you without police response (and somehow convince the police to honor your wishes).
- wonder_er 4y agoYou and I have a different mental model of how policing works. I think you are both believing the propaganda about the existence of policing agencies, and projecting your beliefs about them onto me. Police don't protect people from people. People don't not assault and kill others because of police. There's abundant counterfactuals I could list that demonstrate that people generally don't avoid unethical behavior because of the police. And, police are often the originators of unethical behavior. I humbly propose that you grow your mental model of policing in America to a more sophisticated level. Marketing is not reality.
