lol nothing about that is concern trolling -- it's "here's a poll, here are plausible explanations for it"

any major advocate for abolishing police could tear through these supposedly good faith concerns in a minute

What are they going to say? "No, being a cop is not actually a job that pays well and that you can get without an expensive degree?" There are barely even takes here: it's observations about the situation that complicate it a bit beyond "well we should just have no cops," a position that most people don't support.
