The "abolish police" thing is standard liberal overreaction. It is pretty true that the USA prison system is fucked and resembles that of a 3rd world country on multiple levels. Stuff like sentences for crack (black people drug) being 10x as long as those for cocaine (same drug but white people version). Capital punishment/death penalty. Prisoners being paid pennies for labor (effectively modern slavery). Women giving birth shackled to hospital beds. Etc etc.
The solution is absolutely not to abolish law enforcement entirely. Absolutely no country operates without a police force (unless they're like, some crazy Somaliland pirate zone). Enforcing property rights and basic freedoms are literally what this country was built and prospered on and you can't do either without a legal system to deal with people who break the social contract.
Americans are so fucking short sighted they can't look at other countries for 2 seconds to realize that there is a better way of doing things. People will tell you that the police needs to be abolished because it was "literally only founded to enforce black people being slaves" or some bullshit. Okay, then explain to me why Japan or Finland has a police force? Not everything can be explained through a lens of American race relations ffs.
Yeah the cops in the US have problems. Nobody wants the cops gunning down unarmed non violent suspects for no reason, but the solution isn't to shit the bed and revert to a state of anarchy.
Christ these people would probably react to a food safety scandal with "Abolish eating food". Get bit by a dog once? Guess we better kill all the dogs to be on the safe side. You have to be ridiculously myopic to even consider abolishing the police as a realistic option.
It's such an extremist and simplistic, childish, 3rd grader level of thinking and it's so mainstream now, on both sides, to take any grievance to its extreme, even when it leads to illogical nonsense, which it usually does.
