I think it’s better too improve the police than create a power vacuum that might be briefly filled by peace loving volunteers before they are murdered by armed thugs extorting everyone for protection money.
So the present is them supporting murder, the past was them catching slaves, but in a hypothetical future the alternative is to… pay money? We were asking for improvements before BLM and the police have taken us here. This is what they are and always have been, police are not going to improve.
Historically, yes. Vigilantes tend to do that. If we abolish the cops, it won’t be people armed with whistles that replace them.
Historically the police were slave catchers too.

It’s a Catch 22 because no matter what you do, you’re replacing police with police. The same things are going to happen with the new police force.
