Abolish the police? A UK source, who wishes to remain anonymous for reasons of personal safety, replied:
I also hope it doesn't result in a similar scenario to the Liverpool (where else?) police strike of 1919. I remember hearing an interview in 1978 with a surviving eye witness of what happened at the moment in 1919 when the hue and cry went up, 'THE SCUPPERS ARE OUT!'
This, you will understand, was not a reference to the sexual orientation of the constabulary but the signal for society to promptly revert back to pre-Norman Conquest times in the space of about 10 minutes.
Still, maybe in the future a replacement police force comprised of actors, pavement artists, vegan entrepreneurs, anti-homphobia outreach workers, bunny mothers, preforming mimes and 'social influencers' may do what's necessay.
More worryingly given the rise of AI, it could go another way entirely.... I have seen the 21st century both in 'Demolition Man' and 'Robocop'...
What a choice before you!
`Let the Nation decide'.
Let the nation decide, and so it will in November. For what it's worth, I predict a Trump landslide coz Americans are falling over themselves to call a gay vegan mime for help when their home's being burgled. C'mon guys, are you actively campaigning for Trump?
In the meanwhile, cops in Dem run cities need to go on strike. After all, why should you work for people who hate you and the job you do to keep them safe.

As far as this old lady is concerned abolishing the police would be a nightmare. I will say that Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene, and Kootenai County (sheriff) are all blessed with some of the very best of the very best.
Just posted a slice of Demolition Man. Perfect for 2021.
I predict some former police will become armed robbers. Why not? No Cops !
Can't disagree... sigh I worry about the good people who will die as a result!
If we are using their 'standards' we should be demanding that the American Medical Association and all doctors be put out of work. After all they kill hundreds of thousands every year due to 'mistakes'.
NOTE - I am no way advocating for real police brutality to not be called and the miscreants punished within the law.
The Law of Unintended Consequences will bite them in the ass. Taking this idea further, abolish Fire Departments to put an end to fires.
No one to arrest us for shooting the crazy fascists oppressing us.
It's ridiculous, Adrienne, but mostly grandstanding/posturing -- see LL for how PDs will get folded into the Sheriff's Dpt.
Still, the rhetoric's out there and then some. Cops in LA/NYC/Minneapolis/Seattle/Portland should go on strike and let the commies taste their own medicine.
Did you watch Floyd's funeral? The halo and angel wings stood out and the horse drawn carriage (white) was very special.
Kid, we've moved to full theater of the absurd.
That, NFO, is a very good point.
Anon, reason doesn't come into it. They rage against the "Man."
WSF, aren't fire dpts mostly white? They obviously need to go, and the Army. But maybe neither will move quietly into the night.
Exactly, Ed.
