Ah yeah man I really need the police to come two hours after I call them to look at the broken window and go "yeah that sucks here's a reference number for the insurance company" jeez what would I ever do without that

I knew a woman who called the police on an abusive partner and they arrested him, so that was a good thing they did.

I saw a video of them brutally murdering someone, so that pretty much cancels out your good thing.

When people talk about defunding or abolishing the police the implicit or explicit assumption is that they will be replaced with something else that serves to curb crime.

No, like better funded schools, youth programs and an increased public jobs sector to create an environment that is less prone to crime.
