i understand where its coming from, but the take of abolishing police, without replacing it with proper police seems insane.
Your problem is not the existence of the concept of police in general. The way most of your States do police is the problem.
They need checks and balances, proper education and training and ofc vetting to weed out psychopaths and extremists. none of which is happening ... instead, the vetting is likely done by people who shouldn't have been on the force to begin with.
good luck
No, my problem is police.
I want community defence, not cops.
how do you deal with criminal activity that extends beyond your community?
You work with the other community it extends into.
