It's a good thing no one's suggesting to abolish all cops with 0 alternatives, then, ya dope. Just because america is in the unique position of needing a special task force to take out all the children who keep waltzing into schools to gun down other children, doesn't mean that we need cops to be the one to do it. The problem with cops isn't that they stop school shooters, it's that they're the ones called in to enforce literally every single fucking law in the country, from dealing with mentally unwell people to enforcing property law, all of this while strapped and with zero accountability.
"Oh, no, this one specific person didn't include a full policy proposal in their tweet. I guess we're just alienating people now!"
:this: is you. You know full well what "abolish the police" means. The police as we know it need to no longer exist: fire them all, and take all the money back we were spending on them. Create programs to address the material conditions that cause crime in the first place. The "new police" that would exist afterwards would be highly educated, extensively trained in deescalation, and only called in serious life-or-death situations. The litmus test should be, "Do I need men with guns to roll up, prepared to take a life to save another life?" and they should be as well educated as doctors.
