    police are the bottom tier of law enforcement AND they don’t even have to know the laws when they are FORCING you to comply

    ask anyone with any experience in the other tiers of law enforcement and you might get a good idea of what law enforcement is

      I acknowledge a majority of police are blatantly in a position to do as thy will without any repercussions. There are a lot of bad judges too. I am not a fan of the issues, but we also have good judges and good cops, and places where the system is working as intended (for the most part). I have a hard time believing that getting rid of all law enforcement would be a good thing. I know there are people that like this concept, but there are gangs and groups of people that just want power themselves and to enforce their own concept of judgement and control without repercussions.

        the police is not all law enforcement

        police are a modern creation. civilized society can exist without the police. In the USA, police weren’t even a thing until 1838

          What do you propose then. It is easy to say ACAB & defund the police. I’ve heard the same from drug dealers and people that I don’t trust to protect and serve. If you have a proposal then send it to your representatives or run for office and try to get it implemented.
