Violence never being the solution isn't true to begin with.
Some countries do have unarmed police (though usually there are special armed units).
It works really well!
Let's get some stats, shall we?
Since 1982, in the US, about 1130 people have died from mass shootings.
American police in that same amount of time has killed over 38000 people.
The problem has never been AR-15s, or the lack of background checks, or anything of the sort. It's always been the pigs. But liberal suburbans enjoy the benefits of the pigs protecting their property while they kill poorer people, so telling them this makes them stare blankly, or they double down and continue to whine about weapons of war, to which I say: If you're so concerned with weapons of war being in the streets, why does every law banning AR-15s add exemptions to the police?
Violence seems to usually be the solution. Waiting for the protests to no longer be peaceful.
Is this some American joke I'm too Norwegian to get? Yes, because our police don't escalate, they don't serve as some political tool to harass people for political gains, but they are highly qualified since you only make it to police school if you have high marks in most subjects...
In the US, you could be ruled out of a position as sheriff if you score too high on a damn IQ test.
See a pattern here, yanks? The more intelligent, the higher their chances are of being stable and capable of having empathy.
But then again, you do live in a country where the police used an attack helicopter to bomb a housing complex...
So maybe try community policing for a while?
"How about no police"
Yes, yes, and no laws, right? And no military... surely all these things are great ideas.
Violence is always a solution. It's just usually the wrong one being applied by incompetent jackasses against the wrong people.
those who dont mean what they say with it actually mean "dont resist". Abhorring violence is noble, but bad people have latched on to it like a parasite.
I like the contrapositive of this message of if violence is wrong does that mean you wont stop me if i use violence on the rich?
I like how here it say disarm instead of defund or disband. But then disarming the police in US mean police is basically a sitting duck when shit happened because there's like bazillion of people owning gun. I wonder how's that gonna work.
