I don’t agree with calls to eliminate police, or drastically slash police budgets. We need better police, not no police. Somebody has to direct traffic, cite traffic violators, and arrest drunk drivers; respond to crimes-in-progress, investigate crimes, and arrest criminals; and protect society. Do you really want untrained, unsupervised, and unaccountable vigilantes “keeping the peace”? But I agree there are problems with American policing that must be addressed. Hopefully the coming weeks and months will bring change. The credibility of our police is on the line.
Do you want this?
Or this?
I want Andy Griffith preferable able to go fishing most days.
Get serious.
