As long as we have poverty, there is a need for police (as it currently exist). A world without police can only exist in a world without poverty.
And a world without poverty cannot be accomplished
It doesn’t answer that question
Even if we did nothing in those cases the situation would not be worse than it is now, where rapists already are barely convicted.
The main reason you need to dismantle the system is to get rid of the toxic culture of the police force. They defend one another and allow each other to commit brutality. There are officers who will get dozens of cases against them but will not be fired. A new system should be rebuilt and it doesn’t even have to be super radically different to make change.
Require a college education (that focuses on criminology and psychology)
Disarm ordinary patrolmen
Force officers to engage in community based activities such as food drives
Create a board that reviews all body cam footage to ensure that that cameras are never turned off
Any case of force must be documented and reviewed with body cam footage from all officers on site
Make body cam footage publicly available
I’m not an activist or well read on the subject so I’m not expert but I’m sure there are plenty of proposals out there that can be effective. A removal of the current system is necessary so that the police culture is dismantled.
In an ever increasing population and with less food poverty is alway gonna increase
Poverty leads to theft and this is why you need policing

If the funding that went into policing was scaled back and went into community resources to provide better aid to families in need of food/shelter/education, then theft would greatly drop. Do you know how much money is spent on policing. In my city, over 60% of their budget goes to policing

The earth can only sustain for so much people
Obviously food isn’t running out tommarow
But it will become harder over time

I agree, this is an interesting concept but how would you implement it to huge cities?
abolishing them is stupid. but they need to be rebuilt from the ground up, reform is not enough at this point
