you're just gonna resort to moral vetoing

That's where you started

Yet many studied the origins of modern day police in relation to slave patrols in the US.

I don't even disagree, but that doesn't mean much once again. The invention cotton gin revived slavery in the South. Yet we still use the tool today without slavery.

Anyway that's why I favor completely gutting or even abolishing police. They are fundamentally flawed. I don't care if at the end of the day we have something still called the police, just as long as we change how its used for the benefit of society. Unlikely slavery though, I don't see an overnight dissolution of the police as necessary.

I agree that conflict response, harm prevention, and crisis intervention are necessary. That does not logically mean that the police institution as it exists is necessary or inevitable. The necessity of function does not mean the necessity of the existence of whatever institution is appointed to that function. I'm just arguing against it, I feel like I keep repeating myself so let's leave it at that.

This is what I've been saying.

Also if you decide to move forward you don't need to cite facts, or even cite them 3 deep. It's unnecessary. Everything you've cited is objectively true and I have never had a disagreement with. At least save yourself some time and only cite it 1 source deep.
