Bro, I don’t even know a single person who makes 5 grand a month. I’d say given how much of a rarity that is, there no way the average mortgage payment is over $5000/m. That’d mean yearly you pay $60,000 in mortgage payments alone. That’s a couple thousand over the total yearly income for the average US citizen.
Ideally everyone living together in perfect non-state regulated harmony would be very easy to achieve for a lot of people. My concern are the people who are then going to realize they have nothing stopping them from killing you in your sleep and walking out with everything you own. I’m not a sketchy type human, but I’ve definitely known a couple that would, in a world without police or laws, take a savagely terrible advantage of their fellow man.
Having people whose job it is to de-escalate heated situations, deal with unsafe conditions, and direct people away from harm is a necessary job, but that doesn’t require violence.
I think I see where you’re coming from with this, but abolishing the states ability to enforce the laws of the land will throw things into anarchy with frontier justice being the only option. There has to be people to enforce laws when people decide they’re above them.
Can the scope of work police are required to handle be split between other professionals trained to handle different types of situations? Absolutely. But getting rid of Police entirely simply cannot be the answer in a country with laws.
My dude, the last the the US needs rn is even more guns going around. You’re looking at this from the wrong angle. Police reform is the answer. If law enforcement officers aren’t exhibiting racist behavior, the communities won’t need to defend themselves in lieu of proper protection from the police they’re paying taxes for.
Hiring good cops is the solution. Not giving scared people more firearms.
While it wouldn’t stop them entirely, saying it’s irrelevant is completely wrong. There’s enough data out there from countries not buried in gun violence to prove there would be a difference.
