Defund the police?

Am I missing something? If we defund the police, what entity will enforce the law? Is there some alternative proposal I am missing?

We can exist without law enforcement presence. It just requires public executions and corporal punishment.

Police yourself. Self defense/2nd amendment will become even more important.

They're weeding out bad cops.

If the idiots are successful and the police are gone, they then get the military. Those baws pack major heat and don’t ask questions.

I was actually thinking that might be the angle here. They know who the bad guys are. Get rid of them under the cover of budget cuts.

Police do a terrible job, folks won't believe it. Most murder cases go unsolved.

No clearly we need more agents of the state to enforce the will of the state. Wait, is supporting the enforcement arm of big govt, wanting more big govt?

The reality is, there are countries, (see England) who don’t even arm their police officers with weapons other than batons and flashlights.
They make up for that lack of physical control over a suspect with advanced monitoring equipment on every restaurant, store front, public space, etc. such that, even if cops aren’t even in the city, the evidence is still gathered and criminals are less likely to commit crimes (theoretically) because there’s a greater chance of being caught.
Problem is, as Benjamin Franklin said (paraphrasing), “those who give up their freedom for security deserve neither.”
Answer is you’re under surveillance constantly, so crime plunges. There aren’t weapons to fight your weapons, so less violent crime in this construct. Not saying I support it, but there are work arounds being used in different criminal justice systems around the world.

Ask yourself if Law Enforcement is abolished:
Nigerian scammers and the cartels will make this country the New-Mogadishu.
And that's a fact jack.
