Just wanted to add that the abolish the police sentiment isnt as inane as it sounds on the surface. Abolish the police is about taking away responsibilities that police have today and giving them to people more suitable. Police - people trained for aggression with weapons to stop violent criminals should not be handling:
1) mental health
2) homeless
3) drug addiction
4) domestic violence
5) traffic stops
etc etc
They should be called to handle
1) robbery in progress
2) active shooters
etc
The Not police should be trained in deescalation and should be familiar with all the social resources necessary to help people in the community. The not police should not be armed
