I’m all for defunding cops if it will only hinder their ability to coerce and extort vs serve and protect. Coercion for retarded shit being like 90% of their job. Also the vast majority of laws should be repealed because you cannot justify killing people who break those laws. Also I think there should be a lot less patrolling cops, maybe none at all, and cops should only show up when summoned I.e. when an interaction with them is volunteered I.e. when somebody is in need of the violent power of the state. There isn’t much that the cops protect you from that you couldn’t protect yourself from with a gun. I think their role should be god tier investigation, so as to develop a reputation for high investigative competence, which will create a credible threat of guaranteed future violence, in order to deter crime (doubtful if this will work on nogs/people with low delayed gratification). That’s really the only way they can prevent crime. Cops can’t threaten present violence because they can’t be everywhere with their guns all the time. So they are coercion, they are inherently evil, but they are necessary evil IMO and their capability of violence shouldnt be used for every single little thing.
but this is not what leftists mean when they call to defund the police. Police states are leftists’ wet dream.. what they want is to get rid of local police departments and replace them with a federal police force the leftists control from the top. That or they straight up want cops to stop arresting blacks, even when they commit crimes, because the black incarceration rate doesn’t support the illusion of a diverse utopia.. Muh equity. And their excuse for chanting “Defund the police” is totally baseless. Study after study shows cops aren’t actually racist killers going around Looking for blacks to kill. It’s just that blacks are feral and tend to chimp out literally magnitudes more Than anyone else, hence they have more interactions with cops, are generally more likely to be belligerent during those interactions, and so they end up being killed more often. But any study/set of statistics that makes blacks look bad is “scientific racism” so immediately dismissed as a conthpirathy theory.
that comic above is definitely made by a leftist, and is a perfect example of a leftist taking something that he wants to do, then giving it some moral justification after the fact, and pretending like his motives were Muh morals all along. But leftists never fail to morally justify anything. They’re not perfect moral actors, so it stands to reason that they are very morally flexible, and regularly do mental gymnastics to justify their amoral actions. Like Ted kaczynski said, leftists cannot even think unclean thoughts. Leftists can’t move unless they morally justify it first. IMO it’s impossible to truly be moral unless you’re religious, so how can leftists have any moral hierarchy/first principles? I bet you a leftist can morally justify genocide, and they will so do en masse once the Overton window gets there and there is open talk about genociding whites/men/heterosexuals/Christians.. The comic above was probabaly made so the artist can convince himself that his support for BLM and defunding cops comes from a pure place in his heart.
