I am for abolishing the police.

I don't think that what you see at these protests is something that just manifested itself last week. They're doing what they've always done because they don't know any different. They create chaos and disorder, they instigate, provoke and escalate situations until they can use excessive force.

What I don't think is that there is a conscious effort by individual policemen to feed the prison industrial complex, but what I do think is that they are selected to do it whether they realize it or not.

I think that whatever good they're doing is massively outweighed by the destruction they're causing. There are different ways to deal with organized crime, and I don't mean DEA because all drugs should be legal. The walk-around-and-harrass-people section of the police needs to be completely abolished.
