This kind of shit is why I advocate for the armament of all civilians.
So more people die? Abolish the current policing system. Come up with something that actually addresses the relevant issues.
Or, you know, just kill more people :p
This culture will never allow for the abolishing of the police without a full-on revolution against every other fucked-sideways aspect of this settler-colonial nightmare. Or did we not watch the same process in which “Abolish the police” got co-opted by the DNC into “defund the police”, and then into "fund the police"? Into "further militarize the police"? And now they’re felonizing the 60+ people fighting Cop City in Atlanta for the simple ‘crime’ of protesting a federal cop training camp in their backyard, after said cops have already slabbed out like six people themselves. So with what little respect you and your redditor pith are due, take this cop-suckery back to the fraternal order you got it from.
