"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?…
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation" - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
Not from police, it would have to be communists personnel doing that, How do I know that? Well my best friend is a cop in the Houston area and says there is ONE cop per 25k people. People think its a different cop every car they see and dont realize there are so few. Cops disperse crime they dont prevent it.
crime displacement theory is literally what cops are
It’s entirely evident to people paying close attention. Almost like they’re taking a page out of Trump’s deal-making book:
Start extreme - abolish/defund police
Negotiate to practical “middle ground solutions” like shifting around funding and re-educating the force about their bias (continuing the demotivation and disincentivizing of any prospective cop wanting to have that career)
When that inevitably leads to higher crime, declare a crisis and nationalize the police force (one of the first steps Hitler implemented)
The average leftist has basically zero conception of history but those running the show know it (albeit not the lessons of it) all too well and are eager to exploit tactics that are promising in this tumultuous time to achieve their nefarious goals to further their twisted worldview and bring this country to its knees
You act like once this option is taken we will continue to live our lives as normal. If this comes to pass midnight raids will be expected and planned for.
Boog bois can conduct midnight raids of their own. A tyrant's enforcers have homes and families they'd like to go home to after a rough shift of subjugating dissenters, you know. Make it painful enough and many will decide the pension and dental plan aint worth it.
I know that some will be and some won't be. But good luck policing an armed citizenry that is actively hunting you down. No one wants that job.
Midnight raids to disarm citizens will be normal and likely nothing we do anything about.

Yes. The commies want to defund local police and create federal force. Is that not clear?

Yeah but see, you are speaking as if current police are the ones causing this shit.
