The problem also is what do you replace them with. Even if you remove the repressive police forces you still need some way to enforce laws against crimes such as murder, assault, and other crimes which actually have direct victims
if you think reforming the police is possible, remember that even TV cops are still pretty fucking racist

Yeah, but the cops don't actually do that right now. The clearance rate for homicide is barely 60%. Non-fatal violent crime is just 45%. And of the sexual assault cases where they don't discourage the survivor out of reporting, they still only make an arrest 34.5% of the time.pic.twitter.com/xYcfT0kiZ4

Or that literally every police procedural show routinely includes cops breaking and entering under false pretenses (E.g. "I swear I heard a woman crying for help!" when breaking into an empty house)

I’ve heard that sat tests and standardized testing can be biased against minorities. I wonder if the tests for law enforcement are similar. Just had a buddy not pass the chp tests. I’d like to see if there’s bias built into those tests.
