Your parents obviously did something pretty bad to land in Federal prison.

Sounds like a Karen problem, not a police problem. And police legally can't enter your house without a warrant . . . unless you give them permission to do so. In cases in which they're worried the suspect might later hide, destroy evidence, or worse, they'll pre-emptively get a warrant before the first visit.

Because without cops, it would be a lot easier for these people to loot and steal. At the end of the day, that's what Leftists want to do.

How brainwashed does one have to be to support an ideology with a 100% rate of failure? Learn basic economics, please, and you will soon understand why Socialism is garbage.

Don't commit crimes, lol. It's that simple.

@acex222 According to whom exactly? That's what I like about the Left, it's mostly anecdotal hear-say they use to justify their unreasonable views of defunding or abolishing police. The great thing about modern times is most police stations now require officers to wear body cams and all recordings of police interactions are publicly available. When this started to become a thing, the Leftist rejoiced that police would now begin to be shown as how they "actually were" according to Leftist logic. What actually happened was the cams showed the suspects to be the ones at fault in the overwhelming majority of police interactions.

@BiasedSpursFan Sorry, but it is you that is incorrect. The Economist Thomas Sowell concluded that crime causes poverty, not the other way around.

@Xenomnipotent Depends. Leftists have an overly simplistic view of policing that indicates they really don't understand much about it. Police departments are subordinate to local governments. In addition to that, there are also State agencies and Federal agencies. All of these groups could have different rules, procedures, and protocols. There is no "generalized police" because of this. In the case of local police departments (which receive the lion's share of criticism by Leftists apparently), what they do depends on what the local government allows them to do. The irony isn't lost on us on the Right that pretty much all Leftist outrage against police happen in big liberal cities where the police do the bidding of "progressive" city governments filled with councils full of self-proclaimed Democratic Socialists.

@acex222 "People are using drugs due to trauma that dates back to slavery" What context makes that sound less dumb? "Generational Trauma" is utter B.S. Nobody has innate knowledge of what kind of life their great-great grandfather lived 100 years before they were even born.

@RayneNikole Dude, life in general before the 20th century was straight up barbaric for most people. Taking that into account, pretty much every person on Earth suffers from "generational trauma" because some ancestor of theirs lived a hard life and took it out on their kids. Also, corporal punishment for children was seen as normal as late as the 1970s and 80s, so using that as a basis for arguing black people have generational trauma when corporal punishment was common among all races that late in time is just absurd.

@RayneNikole And when people do drugs, do we go along with it and feed into their addiction, or do we get them off of it? So by that logic, we should refuse to play into these peoples' delusions, and feed their addictions.

We shouldn't be surprised black people get arrested at higher rates when they commit crime at higher rates . . .

@JoJo-z5z6e That's a dumb argument because it completely ignores reality. Bad people exist, and sometimes force is needed to bring justice. Police emerged as a thing to become that force. Get rid of police, and soon something similar to police will come about after society realizes you actually need cops if you want your country to not look like Mad Max.

Said no one ever with a basic understanding of criminology.

@Pulpr_turtle There very much is a crime culture that is glorified within certain segments of society. The Economist Thomas Sowell basically came to the exact opposite conclusion that ideologues like this video presenter claim: Sowell concluded that crime leads to poverty, not the other way around. This does make sense when you look at historical statistics, which was what Sowell did. Crime in the 1930s was actually relatively low compared to other decades, despite being the most economically impoverished decade of the 20th century. Likewise, there was quite a bit of crime in the 80s and 90s, despite those decades being quite prosperous, with even the poor better than they had been in previous decades. From this, it can be seem that there isn't a strong correlation between being poor and committing crimes, but there is a correlation with committing crimes and causing more poverty. When stores repeatedly get robbed, it becomes more expensive to do business there, as merchandise and money are more likely to get stolen, and insurance rates for the business go up as well. These business respond in one of two ways: pack up and go or raise prices and both opinions severely hurt the surrounding community. The businesses leaving altogether would require people traveling more to get the same things, and higher prices put a strain on peoples' budgets. And of course, the loss of these stores also mean fewer jobs within the community. Robbery is why stores in high crime areas tend to have higher prices than stores not in high crime areas. Ultimately, one of the best things to do to combat poverty is to heavily crack down on criminality, as it is criminality that robs communities of opportunity and raises their cost of living.

Get this: if a black guy and a white guy don't do a crime . . . neither one of them will go to jail. Wow, it's really eye-opening stuff right here.

Lol, look at the French.

@yolohenry8830 This comment right here shows you never bothered to educate yourself. Look at Russia and China, police there are much more brutal than in the US. Hell, even in Western Europe, it's bad. French and Spanish police are arguably more violent than American.

"Intellectual" and "Intelligence" are not the same thing. The high correlation between the ratio of cops-to-civilians and the levels of crime in different cities. Having more cops correlates to less violent crime.

Giving them work is a gift. Sitting around with absolutely nothing to do for months or years on end really rots a person, both physically and mentally.
1
@Andkshsnsjsbsh It does actually. Legally, they're not obliged to be paid anything for that work. But, as a said before, having a task to do on a regular basis is infinitely more healthy than rotting in a cell 24/7 with nothing, regardless of whether or not you are getting paid. And for those jails kind enough to pay, the money should not be given to them, but set aside to be handed over at the end of their sentence.
