Do you think many on the right even understand what the Founding Fathers did?

Your retelling is inaccurate
How so?
Are there no cops right now? Of course not, there are about 700,000 cops in this country.
You say that cops prevent crime, but then you also say there's a crime wave.
So both things can't be true.

knowing cops will come after you is a crime deterrent. though, yes, many crimes are not prevented, the deterrent effect is real.
take away the deterrent effect with defunding cops and prosecutors who won't prosecute, and crime increases, duh.
You contradicted yourself all over that sentence.
You have yet to establish that there even is a deterrent effect.

I think the long history of domestic policing has been proven to have value.
and you're a dumb retard.

does lv42dix embody mainstream values?
Domestic policing started as slave patrols.
You claim there's a "deterrent effect", but refuse to prove it.
Sammy Jankis
Was it me?
oh well. now it's something else.
Sammy Jankis
Was it me?
Is it?
Is it really?
Are you really, really sure?
there are cases where abuses occur. I don't deny that.
I still want people who can come when murderers come to my home unannounced. I think this is a valid community/collective function.
Well gee...
So first you said cops deter crime.
Then you said they deter some crime.
Now you're saying they don't deter crime, they commit it.
So right there you're saying cops don't prevent crime.
They only come after the fact.
You just said it.
You just said what I have been saying this whole time that you disagreed with.
Unbelievable.

sometimes they get there in time. knowing they will also try to find the perpetrator later is a big part of deterrence. hence, domestic policing is a long tradition in human society.
So now you're moving the bar even lower?
Seems like it's pretty pointless to put your faith in law enforcement when you're not even sure if they'll be there to protect you, or if they'll commit a criminal act.
And where is the science behind your claim of a "deterrent effect"?
No it's not if they're breaking into your house, which you JUST SAID a moment ago could happen.
So where's the science behind this deterrent effect.
Wouldn't the fact that someone broke into your house disprove the deterrent effect?
Yeah, as slave patrols.
Tradition isn't always a good thing.

when you defunded cops, and stopped prosecuting crimes crime went up.
