I was sent a video today of a tanker truck driving through a protest in Minneapolis. The mob descended onto the truck, pulled the driver out and beat him. The person who sent it said "this is what society will look like without police".
My thoughts? No, there are still police in Minneapolis. They still are there, they still have their funding, as of today. That happened when the full police force is funded and on the job. Now, if that driver had plowed through the crowd to save himself, or started shooting to save himself, the police would possibly have arrested him.
People, that video is your society with police who are willing to follow whatever immoral, unethical or illegal orders they're given. They've been told to stand down, so they are. Now if that driver defend himself, they probably wouldn't be standing down. He might very well have gone to jail for it.
You all need to realize that police do not "protect" you from bad people. Bad people still do bad things, and the police come later to clean up the mess. Police in society more often protect the bad guys from the good people who would be inclined to take the bad people out.
