Police Do More Harm Than Good Even If They Were There For You Once Or Twice

Police abolition is hated not only by Republicans, but Democrat conservative (Republicans by another name) and many Democrats. Across many demographics, it is viewed as not only a harmful idea made to destroy society. As though society is so amazing for everyone now. There are protestors being arrested and abused daily, Black kids and adults being murdered by police and there’s little accountability, but the issue is getting rid of the largest state-sanctioned gang in the country?

Many people who argue against police abolition, act like it is something new that the “liberal left” has created to scare some Democrats into supporting Republicans. They’ve never read a book about it, and have little understanding about it. All their arguments against it are weak, yet because of people’s fear they will easily latch onto these arguments. The arguments range from who will solve crimes, what about rapists/pedophiles, and it’s just not possible. They would rather reform the police than defund/abolish them.
