If I may ...
And, I want to know how people feel about military and police who voluntarily put their lives in danger to protect the USA.
Not my post. I pulled this from another site's comment section.
Actually, educated people have an answer.
And don't listen to the people the media focuses on and don't listen to the media story ABOUT the demonstrators.
The police NEED to be abolished. But before your emotions take off with your brain, understand FIRST what police ARE, and understand SECOND what EDUCATED PEOPLE ARE PROPOSING.
First, the LEGAL DEFINITION of "Police Officer" is "Overseer of the labor force". That's the ACTUAL LEGAL DEFINITION. This means that police are, in fact, WHIP CRACKERS over the WORKING CLASS. There's NO WAY to misinterpret that. The police are CORPORATE ENTITIES that enforce UNLAWFUL ordinances and statutes. These unlawful acts carried out BY the police are, in fact, the primary source of problems WITH the police. This is because the corporatization America of has created a system of SUB-law called LEGAL. Legal is below Lawful...and many things which are LEGAL are UNLAWFUL, and in fact the MAJORITY of statutes and ordinances are, in fact, COMPLETELY Unlawful (and, in fact, unconstitutional).
Now, once we can all agree (for the love of God if you can't see, with actual information and knowledge, then you're brainwashed, because that's what knowledge SHOULD do, is alter your ideas and thinking) that what the police represent is, in fact, BAD (and what the police represent IS bad, because they are UNLAWFUL), then we can agree that they should be abolished.
BUT WHAT TO DO WITHOUT POLICE, you ask in sheer terror? Why, you EXPAND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS NATIONWIDE. Why? Because the role of the Sheriff is actually SUPPOSED to be "LAW enforcement". Police aren't even SUPPOSED to do "law enforcement". AND the Sheriffs answer to a constitutional election process, meaning we can VOTE THEM OUT. You can't VOTE OUT a police officer.
Now. Argue with pure logic backed by reason AND LAW.
