@philip_cardella You're correct, there. To clarify, I am for all unions but not the police unions as they exist and you described.
Here's where the abolition calls lose me: There are people who are violent and exist, regardless of societal conditions that create violence. Although police rarely stop crime from occurring, we must have a means to apprehend, investigate, and separate perpetrators from their actual and potential victims - also applies to police/ authorities. How?
