The second you start seeing the people as the enemies, you’ve gone too far.
I dont see cops as the enemy
but I am white when there is a lot of anti white hate coming from the left, meaning blacks
most conservatives are well armed and now I think militant blacks are buying ar-15s in preparation for a race war
if the cops are disbanded or just refuse to intervene a lot of Americans are going to die
The cops may not see you as the enemy, but in other neighborhoods they may see the people as the enemy. That’s why things are so screwed up. Police used to serve the people. Now it sometimes feels like it’s the other way around.
there are neighborhoods in which the cops are the enemies. There are neighborhoods in which bill collectors are the enemies and meter maids and people who sue for non-payment and people who serve court papers and------even "bookies" "the other way around"??? some cop demanded that you do something for HIM?
When cops behave with disregard for people’s rights and freedoms, some people may begin to see them as the enemies.
Hence defund the police. One should not have to pay for their own mistreatment.
Dirt poor black people are not paying for the cops
that comes from tax money and the hood pays little of the cost of police protection
Property taxes. City service fees. And the court costs and fines from all the extra attention they get.
What you say just isn’t true.
No, what you say isn't true. You think that property taxes in high crime areas, even remotely covers the cost of city services in those areas? Not even close.
Remember property taxes are based on the value of the property, which any idiot should know that property in high crime areas are exceptionally BECAUSE they are in high crime areas.
So the cost of law enforcement goes up, in the very locations that property tax revenue goes down.
And court fees and fines? The government loses money on those. The cost of operating a court, and all the people involved in the legal process, for exceeds the amount of money they collect in court fees and fines.
I haven't seen a single example yet where they either broke even, or made a net profit.
Just randomly punched that into google... and....
Court fees and fines unjustly burden people with debt just as they are re-entering society. They are also ineffective at raising revenue.

Fees and fines are an inefficient source of government revenue. The Texas and New Mexico counties studied here effectively spend more than 41 cents of every dollar of revenue they raise from fees and fines on in-court hearings and jail costs alone. That’s 121 times what the Internal Revenue Service spends to collect taxes and many times what the states themselves spend to collect taxes. One New Mexico county spends at least $1.17 to collect every dollar of revenue it raises through fees and fines, meaning that it loses money through this system.
Not surprising. Every single time I look up this information there is yet another paper published about how the government loses money on court fees and fines.
So just a random, this one says that all the examples they found, showed the government lost money on this.
What that means for you and me, is that we're paying taxes, to cover the money lost on dealing with criminals in the hood.
We're not making money off of criminals. We're subsidizing criminal activity.
If the government wanted to save the tax payers money, they would have to just leave the hoods completely, and let them kill each other.
Which at this point, I'm almost open to this. Just build a wall around the hood, and lock them in there, and let them have at it. Go all hunger games.
They'll kill them selves, and leave the rest of us alone, and then we can cut taxes on good law abiding working people.
