I did. You’re really good at making strawmen and bootlicking and the other guy’s really good at dodging questions. The question of what to do to ensure safe communities without police has thousands of valid answers that countless academics and activists have tirelessly worked on for decades.

Some of my favorites are voluntary community defense that are composed of people that actually live in the neigborhoods they’re protecting, held directly accountable by the community, with positions easily revoked by that same community. Unarmed mental health crisis response teams composed of social workers and community paramedicine practitioners.

And the elephant in the room: abolishing capitalism, patriarchy, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and all other hierarchical power structures that create the conditions for “crime” to exist in the first place. Your ideas around crime and police are undergirded by a tangled web of assumptions, cultural conditioning, biases, and unanalyzed prejudice. If you actually give a shit and aren’t just arguing on the Internet for shits and giggles, you should do some reading on the matter. Here’s a starting point specifically around police abolition.

This article directly addresses your strawman of “what about the rapists and murderers?” and it’s one of my personal favorites on the topic

Considering only 25 per 1000 rapists get sentenced to prison, and only ~50% of murderers are found, with only ~70% of those found being convicted (that’s about 350 per 1,000), cops are already doing fuckall about the rapists and murderers.

Perhaps you should be answering your own question considering the current system in place flat out doesn’t fucking work

Can’t corner the dorner! God I miss old 4 chan sometimes (not really but it had its moments)

How could you possibly know that? Are you living in their walls? Did you stalk the buyer to make sure they weren’t a black rock employee?
