Yet, no matter how you try to argue about the function of the police, these guys are going to start screaming all over. I guess not even the American Bar Association can convince them why we need a police force to keep society safe. They woud say stuff like, "You (insert insult), don't you realize you're just as deluded as (insert bad word) would just make things worse. You're as delusional as (insert bad word) if you think policemen will make things better." You may even get comments like, "You know what! I'd rather trust the criminals than the police. It's because the police kills without a reason and criminals kill for a reason." What kind of messed up logic is that?
That's why I'd like to ask those people who want to seriously defund the police, "Are you willing to call criminals if you never need help?" They want to defund the police because of abuses. They want the budget of the police to be allocated them to other functions that need police to defend it. You'd need police officers to apprehend healthcare scams, crime scenes in schools, and to protect houses from thieves. If they start defunding the police then where will good police officers get money to have the equipment to stop criminals? If the criminals started having better weapons than the police--would police-hating wokes call criminals if they get into trouble?
Let's think of this imagined scenario. I had to imagine myself living in San Francisco. The consequences are really bad. I remembered watching a video by Misha Petrov on Youtube. The way that she describes it fills me with disgust. It's a brutal hard truth that needed to be heard. Can you imagine a street full of discarded infected needles, human wastes, crime left and right, and you might want to move away from the place as soon as possible? As a child, I remembered the song "San Francisco" by the late Scott McKenzie. The song is but a memory now because of the defund the police movement. That song made me want to try and see the place. After hearing the current situation, maybe it's about time to abandon the American dream for good.
Who would I call if any of those criminals in San Francisco start breaking into where I stay? I could imagine going on vacation to such a place. No police officers at all. No money to fund the place because of the anti-capitalist mindset. I could imagine walking in San Francisco with all the crime worse than what I encounter daily in the Philippines. I'd probably be a lot more scared because of drug tourism. I would totally say, "Who can I call if a druggie hits me? Call another druggie?" That's the price of not having rules, right? Yet, I'm meeting people who say stuff like they'd rather end their lives than follow rules. I guess some people enjoy the chaos even if they have to endure the smell of human waste left and right, discarded needles here and there, instead of having a safe, orderly place.
Because of the absence of cops, we can see how places like San Francisco and California are really that bad. The scene of Disney's Pinocchio where Pleasure Island soon got vandalized ot the max comes to my mind. People are making jackasses out of themselves in the symbolic sense. Consequences will eventually be worse than what Disney's Pinocchio. Sure, the idea of people turning into literal donkeys is just fiction. However, I'd rather turn into a literal donkey and be useful in the salt mines than to become a jackass of no use.
If their logic was to defund the police due to a bad police officer then here's what. They need to defund other sectors such as healthcare and housing. Would they want to defund healthcare because a healthcare authority abused his or her authority? Would they want to defund housing because a zoning regulator abused his or her authority? These people like police officers, healthcare authority, and housing authority also have rules to follow. If they fail to follow the job assigned to them--isn't it time to remove them from their jobs?
Also, a police officer who was broken the law should no longer be viewed as a police officer. A police officer who's broken the law is a law breaker--not to be viewed as a law enforcer. By their logic, any police officer who breaks the law should be trusted because that police officer has become a criminal. A police officer who commits murder now "kills for a reason" because he or she is already best considered a criminal. I guess they'll call the bad police officers for help them. If not, they've further proven themselves contradictory when they'll refuse to embrace a bad police officer, a person best viewed as a criminal.
