While most cities would be better off if they invested a portion of police department resources into mental health support and other social welfare programs, a police department of some kind is inevitably necessary in cities beyond a certain scale, such as New York. Crime is inevitable to some extent.

For rural areas, it's probably more efficient to just have a county sheriff office instead.

    No such thing.

    All other crimes aside, I think assault, rape, and murder victims would disagree.

    assault, rape, and murder victims would disagree.

    In anarchist theory, these are considered oppressions, and would be intersected and solidified for the victims. But “crime” is arbitration: having a separate class decide what is fair, just, and partial. Something we should be completely against.

    Let's not even get started on the widespread tradition of employing bacon from towns/cities away. They have no pigskin in the game, and don't put money back into the local economy, either. (eg. food stops are often free to their kind, and the leo's share of their grossly inflated pay goes back to their own neighborhood)

    They're the Walmart/AirBnB of the military wannabes and washouts. Buncha ballistic-dicked spherical bastards.

    ACAB. ✊🏼
