Could anyone provide me with a reason why supporting the police is a good thing? They're anti-liberty, tyrannical and are militarized. I don't see any reason why anyone who likes freedom and liberty should support the police.

(I am speaking about American police in general, and their persistent belligerence against folk who have done little to nothing, in addition to their support of anti-freedom laws)

cuz if someone walks into ur school or home and starts blastin muthafluckas, who will help if not the po po?

Folk with guns. I guarantee you that the majority of civilians with guns would help against any school shooter. And besides, I am not for the abolishment of police, just for police to have lots of their privileges taken away.

1. Many people don't like guns, therefore won't own them.

2. Most police aren't a problem.

1. There are enough guns for every person in America
2. Most police are the problem since they can legally get away with anything as long as they say they didn't know the law in this situation

A question: When a gang member shoots at your house , who would help you if the police are 30 minutes away and are likely to attack you and mistreat you, and you've been disarmed by the government?

A rival gang.

Give the gang your herione

^ Scottish survival tactics

1. That's not how it works when people don't want guns.

2. It's a shame for your argument here that most police aren't douchebags.

Seriously though, its really not going to hurt a person to own a gun.

Look at Switzerland.

^I know, but people don't see it that way.

Again I am not for the abolishment of the police so your arguments against not being in favor of more blue shirts does not work. If the police are 30 minutes away and your gun is 3 minutes away at most, I'm certain the gun is the better choice, especially if the police are likely to hurt you too.

who would arrest drug dealers

Why would we arrest drug dealers? If folk want to get high on stuff, the government has no place telling them not to.

If police pledge to enforce the constitution, proceed to break it on a regular basis, stand with their colleagues who have done horrible and immoral things and also pledge to uphold laws that are often very bad, how are they not all douchebags?

Saying that we should keep a police to create jobs is a bit of a shitty argument, gvt shouldn't create jobs just for the sake of creating jobs, that's wasting money.

However, the police should be supported yes. The fact that some police officers abuse their power shouldn't be generalized. The only institution to be blamed is the judiciary that doesn't punish those infractions commited by the police. Also, you give have too much faith in people; arming everyone in the country might seem apealing, and maybe there's gonna be less people invading your homes, (or maybe not?) but it's probably not the best longterm solution to criminality, as it has other consequences.


Plus, a violent police is a problem in the US and in many other countries, but don't generalize it to the world. In France there's a police officer facing criminal charges and years of emprisonement because he punched a protester last week. Don't blame the job, blame the country.

Ah, so if I embezzle money, who's going to arrest and detain me while I await trial? Some guy with a gun? What gives him the authority to hold me at gunpoint over somebody else? Wont he want a reward for his deed? Now he needs pay and a job. Oh look, that makes him a cop.

Yeah, let's give everyone guns, that's a good idea!

Tjoex gets me.

Drugs > Guns

Before you start saying "who will arrest the person for doing the the thing!?!?!?1" read what I've put down. I'm not for abolishing police , but for restricting their power. These arguments are the most idiotic ones because they don't actually argue against my point.

Teamguns, I blame the police because they're guilty of misusing their power and doing wrong. And the point of not supporting the police is also not supporting politicians who want to give them more power.

I'll start supporting the police when they do right, until then they can beat me black and blue but they cannot coerce me into supporting them.

What I'm getting at is that you would rely on something that people don't wish to own.
