Historical experience shows the while people should live by the Ten Commandments, many do not.
Now we hear about “abolishing police” and “defunding police”.
This would comport with John Locke’s philosophy he called “the state of nature”; the way things were before civilized society.
It seems that many are now leaning toward this “state” not orderly co-existence, but to civil disorder and war. There is no earthly authority, but for the “moral code” to protect people against being attacked and plundered.
Obvious wrongs cannot be left to being put right by judgement of individuals with recourse to arms or force, this obviously leads to a “disorderly society” with everyone being their own supreme authority.
The right to dissent is sacred, but the dissent is not.
We need law and order.
This would necessitate a high standard of law enforcement.
This would necessitate a judicial system of impartial judges.
Therefore we must have a government that empowers courts (empowered by law) to resolve differences…and duly sworn police forces to execute the laws.
Is this difficult to understand…if so I suggest you re-read the first sentence. Is it incorrect?
Humanity is too human to be uncivilized.
I read a brilliant rebuttal today, that at reasonable cost, police officers “in good standing”, but fired by leftist insanity, immediately get job offers from new specialized “private police unions”, so that the desperate people in these “police free zones” can pay a *subscription* for police services.
This is based off the model of private fire departments/paramedics/ambulance, that while not widespread, are very popular with their firemen.

Importantly, the subscriptions they offer can be for individual people or companies, or for a group, say a particular block, where they paying residents supports some elderly and disabled on fixed incomes.
And here’s the zinger: these police are *not* under the onerous rules inflicted on them by liberal cities, but their own judgment. They have no obligation of arrest and would not be subject to police brutality complaints. If an ordinary citizen can do it, so can they.
They can also carry non-standard, or even military grade equipment.
“many do not”.
About 95% of humanity gives a rip about the “10 Commandments”. There is hell to pay for that and I won’t cry one tear for them. In the meantime, we are to persevere as best we can.
If we abolish the Police, they unleash hell on every city. It’s exactly what the sons of satan want.
The police are what are keeping the leftists alive.
They are too stupid to know that.
It would be nice to have law and order again, but where Griswold, Roe, Casey, Lawrence, and Obergefell are “law and order”, then maybe we should have a bit of disorder first. I’m all for revolution, but it seems the revolutionaries are on the wrong side.
Make Life Nasty, Brutish and Short Again
Who will deny them?
A good time to buy stock in gun and ammunition manufacturers.
Too many laws..........
There will still be police. The Marxist police.
What they want society to do now, is hand the power over to
them peacefully. Just surrender folks. Why not?
What this brings about is a defenseless decent society at the
whim of the purgers, the Socialist takers, the rapers and
pillagers.
Think about it. We are being asked to assess rioters,
assaulters, killers, and worse, as being more capable of
making good societal decisions on behalf of the populace.
So people who had no problem killing five Blacks, police
officers, women... aren’t these the people you want
running your town?
If this is how things work, then I guess Whites need to get
together, riot, kill, rape,... Then WE’LL be given the
power.
All the mayors governors and the media will then
advocate for us.
I guess we’re just too old fashioned. We need to screw
people up, destroy their life businesses and life savings.
The we can get all the respect.
We can up with great lines like White Power, White lives
matter, and if anyone objects, just beat them to death.
I always thought this was wrong, but the Left has
opened my eyes.

We have too many laws that turn peaceful citizens into criminals. Simplifying the code would let police get back to basics and things will improve.
peace officers now apply to too many disciplines that are sworn officers and have PO retirement. In Cal that means corrections, park rangers and slew of others.
I am a retired peace officer, but not a retired police officer.
We’re getting there. Give it a 2 more years.
Right on.
Give it two more years and then what happens? Specifics, please.
Abolish the police? Who will carry out Red Flag confiscations?
Dems will never do that.
LEOS account for up to 4% of City revenue.
LEO unions donate to campaigns.
Perhaps it’s time for a nation wide police strike. Teachers do it all the time. Time for cops to get to striking.
ABOLISH DEMOCRATS
ABOLISH SOCIALISTS
just saying the same thing a different way

Ben franklin set it up.
