you're right i forgot about Men's Wearhouse Spokesman. i guess both the police and civilian vigilantes need to be disbanded

you right removing all protections against crime is definitely going to help stop criminal action

looks like you should be investing in some personal defense classes about now. if you can't make it off your couch without becoming incapacitated consider hiring a bodyguard instead

PhantOS · June 16, 2020, 12:35:22 PM

right now the police work as an extension of the government and judicial system which means they're very close-knit with the courthouses and prosecutors. if the police become a private service then all the funding will come directly from the people. if an officer forgets up and kills an unarmed black man then the relevant parties can simply pay another police officer to have them arrested lol. obviously this is a huge simplified abstraction and needs more checks and balances in practice but in theory if you're paying the police directly as a service they're not going to beat the stuff out of you because you're a customer

bail agencies have never come under major scrutiny for their methods of capturing/killing criminals because unlike police their freedom as a citizen of the united states is at stake if they abuse their power. they don't kneel on people's neck or bust into random houses and shoot the occupants while they sleep; they gather information and make educated decisions in order to safely claim a bounty

forget it, Jo Jorgensen

Legalize loving everything, including cocaine and heroin

yeah because every man, woman, and child is expected to have kevlar vests and shotguns and always be awake and have a full outreach on the entire globe so the average burgler can't run off with their tv while they were sleeping and go to canada

ah yes because private corporations and freelancers are under more scrutiny than federal resources. no way people can't use freelancing police as hitmen in a place where there is by definition no law. yessirree, everyone is totally fair when it comes to choosing a freelancer and won't just choose based off of their political opinions, however genocidal they may be. yep, causing a literal purge will definitely stop violent crime from occuring, because it's definitely safer than using a definitly not heavily scrutinized government team that is totally not trained to be as impartial as possible, which totally commits "systemic racism" despite police violence occurring minimally and often to white people instead of black people. yep, it's definitely safer to give your kid an ak-47 to "protect himself" in a place where law enforcement can't exist by definition and totally won't break civilization down into a real-life baseraiders without a respawn mechanic

you're putting complete faith in a system that can only be reasonably adjusted by civil unrest and violence, rather than one that can be adjusted overnight by mere supply and demand and sales statistics

PhantOS · June 16, 2020, 01:19:11 PM

its also worth noting that absolute freedom will reward the opportunistic, who will exercise their freedom to diminish that of others. people should have as many rights as they want unless those rights result in civil unrest and total collapse of state

You're being pretty hyperbolic. Private security is already used in many places around the world, including America. No matter how strict of a police state you live in, safety is always going to be your own responsibility, and police are always going to be a tertiary preventative measure against violent crime.

The irony is that in some places in America people ARE armed to the teeth with kevlar and shotguns because their local "highly trained scrutinized government team" takes hours to respond to active home invasions. The argument for private security doesn't solely come from a place of mistrust in police, it has it's own benefits not limited to much faster response times.

The police can remain as a government organization, as we're not advocating for anarchy. They can be an interface for the judicial system and will have the power to oversee private institutions to make sure they're not acting out of bounds of the law or constitution, but the police street enforcer is an obsolete/outdated concept that clearly needs to be improved on.

lets shut the forget up for a moment and answer this important question:

what are the chances biden/Annoying Orange die in office next term from like old age or a heart attack? Annoying Orange is pretty fat but like Biden might die of a brain aneurysm like he almost did in the 80s
