Don't forget, cops are all class traitors. All cops are bastards. Every single last fucking one of them.
Would this be true if the police were reformed? Or do you think police should not exist at all?
There isn't a role currently offloaded to the police that wouldn't be better served by a more appropriate public service, apart from protecting capital.
What is the police doing? Most of the time, nothing at all. You need them when you are victim of a crime, but they could be replaced by a form on a website, instead of needing you to come to the station to report something (because that's all you do there, and they will not follow up). They enforce drug policy, but society would be better off with a rehabilitation approach, in which the cops have no role.
At best, make them all trafic cops. We do need trafic law enforcement, but that too would come with significant reform.
Do you ever have chases with stolen cars? Or violet public altercations? How would you serve an arrest warrant, such as for robbery or murder?
