I was raised in a conservative christian family in the midwest US and I joined the marines at 18 so I can also confirm fuck anyone that willingly joins the military or law enforcement. Luckily I was never deployed anywhere or useful for anything militarily and it was a big wake up call type experience for me
Well, the people dedicated to enforcing it don’t have a very good track record of making it any better. A police officer is physically not capable of preventing a murder, for example, because it is all but guaranteed to be too late by the time they arrive in response to an emergency call.

This doesn’t make sense. They’ve prevented attempted murders. People are convicted of attempted murder and sent to jail by those enforcing the law. They’ve caught murderers and serial killers before they could kill again, and also sent them to jail.
The system isn’t perfect and there are clear bad actors, but the absence of the system would likely be worse for society. If anything, it’s a call to make the system stronger to prevent unnecessary death and imprisonment.
Oh, no darling, we only have room for infantile absolute positions here on Lemmy, so I’m afraid what you actually just said was that you’re glad the idf are committing a genocide and you think the police should shoot more black people.

But how will the law be upheld if there is no one enforcing it? Clearly there are communities without the capacity to police themselves.

Silly you!
Let us be the change that differentiates lemmy from other massive forums. The darkness may be deep, but we do not step into it alone, comrade!
I sympathize for anyone who gets forced to be in the military. It must suck to have to do that.
