Yeah, I was pulled over while traveling before the plandemic and the entire experience left me with a lack of trust for law enforcement. I’ve had other bad experiences with law enforcement, but they were mostly my fault. The last time was the worst and went far beyond what I imagined could ever happen. They insisted I had either cash or drugs on me and when I refused to allow them an opportunity to search my vehicle things went down hill fast.
You don't have to be happy with how policing currently is. Yes, there are issues, and it's something that always happens when an organization is large enough. But that doesn't mean destroy it. We built ourselves upon reform, over time. Getting rid of the police is the worst possible answer.
Instead, we should introduced rule and policy changes to address the issues one by one, that's how you get a strong organizational structure, not trashing what you already have and start over.
This false binary of defend/defund is maddening.
