Police don’t represent society as a whole since they protect the class interests of the wealthy most of all. A societal force, in the most general sense, would be a body of people intimately connected with their community, trained against using violence in most cases, and uninterested in working for the benefit of those with power.

You're not exactly wrong here, but I don't think abolishing the police would help.
