And when there are 0 cops, 0 crimes will be recorded. Brilliant!
I don't think that's what anyone suggests. However the opposite is what needs to be called out. Why do police departments consistently ask for more and more funding, usually looking for reasons to spend it (see urban assault vehicles, larger and more militarized forces) when crime is down already? If they're doing fine with the budget they have, why do we need to give them even more money?
"Defund the police" doesn't mean we have no police. It means they're overfunded. Let's see about defunding them and giving some of that money to other people, like mental health advocates or groups that help with homelessness - some of the main causes of crime. Wouldn't that mean the police can focus on things they are trained for while also cutting crime down at it's source? If someone is never desperate enough to mug someone in the first place, doesn't that mean the crime was prevented?
Defund the police doesn't mean abolish the police
Me:
That's incredibly dumb.
Lol, I disagree- sorry not sorry
So no laws then huh?
Right. Is this your first time encountering an anarchist?
Nope, I do just enjoy pointing out stupidity when I see it.
Hey, me too!

Yes I'm stupid, the one who's political view is unknown but you the anarchist aren't stupid though your idealist bullshit is taken by just about everyone to be wildly naive and idiotic. But sure, you do you and enjoy it in the relative safety of about governed world or as others might call it, pricing my point for me.
Just because you don't know the first thing about a subject doesn't mean it's 'dumb'
It means you're ignorant and lazy
And maybe you should approach a new subject and belief as a student before you decide to mouth off like a fool
That's your assumption based on literally nothing.
It means your presumptuous and dumb.
The same applies to you ya fuckin hypocrite.
your dumb
Ahahah
An anarchist thats a Grammer Nazi, again par for the dumbfuckin course.
I just think it's ironic, going around calling people stupid and then writing like that
You're definitely on the right track.
The only actual job of the police is to file crime reports.
They do not prevent crime. Protect innocents. Make people show up for court etc. They have no obligation to stop a crime in progress or protect someone being hurt, even if they're standing right there and could stop it.
Anything in the justice system that you value is either done by someone else, or actually isn't done at all.
Let's abolish the police, therefore no one can report crime to the police, but then we see people reporting crimes elsewhere and as it turns out, crimes still happen, even when not reported to the police. This is a very good argument for increased gun ownership! No police, no law enforcement, no law, well I'll just have to take the "law" into my own hands. Can't see how that would cause chaos.
Must have dropped out of strawman school...
And when cities get revenue from traffic violations, traffic violations go up. Funny how that works.
