Robert Nozick might enjoy watching this experiment work its way out.
GOOD FOR THEM - bad for the citizens!
If cops are forced to abdicate their duties, neighborhoods will be protected by militias, warlords, gangs and mobsters.
I wonder how that will work out?
Well this should be interesting.
Ah, “transformative”. This is one of those magic words - “social” is another - that makes whatever follows unquestionable. Sure, that mob is looting and torching that store, but it’s all in the spirit of transformation into a new just society. Now shut up and bleed.
The Minneapolis PD should have a 1 week “Stand Down” where they simply leave their jobs.
In fact, I’m completely in favor of all police officers in any jurisdiction where elected or appointed “leaders” call for this sort of nonsense to take a week off. I’m sure the fire fighters could use a week off as well.
If there’s anything left of the community, they will be able to pick up where they left off. Maybe the “citizens” will tar and feather their “leaders.”
