Law enforcement does not prevent violence. Uvalde and other school shootings are examples of late violent responses. Armed suspects scare law enforcement. Law enforcement is incapable of doing violence to protect the unarmed.
A better alternative is to arm and train community members. We keep us safe.
Then I guess you’re just choosing to ignore other countries which actually hold their police force to higher standards. You know, requiring actual training and holding officers accountable for their actions. Or are we strictly talking about the US here?
Are there actually police forces that aren’t power tripping bastards who will use violence against their fellow workers to serve the owner class when given the greenlight ? genuine question
Why trust the state with violence?
