If the police are abolished, we wouldn't get pictures like this!

It is a strange idea. What we really need is extensive retraining and mental assessments

Alternate idea: people calling 911 are required to identify a criminal's race to the best of their ability, and only an officer of that same race can be dispatched to the call. This will end the controversy.

Probably a simpler version would be white police are only allowed to deal with white people. Officers patrol in pairs, one white one non-white. Majority-black areas have all-black police departments.

Daniel Tosh had a whole stand-up bit about how you could end racism if you just made every cop be black. Was he right? Who can say?

Thinking about any of the recent BLM-related police killings, would any of them have made it past the local news if the officers involved were not white?
The closest I can think is Freddie Gray where it was a 50/50 black/white mix of cops involved.

If 70% of Crimes were solved with an all white police force, what percentage would you estimate would be solved with an all black one?

I think it's actually a really fun question. If you have a community that ultimately doesn't trust the police to serve justice or keep order, then what incentive should they have to actually want a police force? The video cuts of unprovoked police violence on people just sitting around or walking by from the past few days aren't helping anything. Why would anybody want that in their community?
Once you have a growing number of people who fear the police because police just mean more violence, then what's the fucking harm in getting rid of them? I think it's a little bizarre that we're at a point where people are seriously considering abolishing their police force. Why would people burn down police precincts and run the police out of town? What lead to that? Maybe we should wonder why people are protesting. Let's take a real look at what drove them to do this.
I know the easy answer is to pretend like it's all crazed mobs, or a super-organized conspiracy, or that liberal media hype drove them to it. Ultimately, these are all lame speculations that conveniently blame nationwide protests on something people can easily dismiss or rebut by choosing to believe that some choice stories they choose to believe are representative of the whole nationwide problem. We should probably just assign these protesters some agency and actually listen to them about what lead them to protest.
They are real people with actual reasons. Maybe if we take those problems seriously, then we can avoid civil unrest. If we continue to dismiss the problem, then I'm pretty sure this shit is just going to keep happening every few years.

I wonder if communities without a police force will start very strict and effective neighborhood watches or develop an honor code that prevents one another from stealing each other’s shit, raping others, or murdering them. Of course, this could turn hectic like that one trans woman of color who was assaulted by her peers. So this could lead to certain individuals being cast out of the neighborhood.

Minus the transphobic crap, you are pretty much describing how basic policing works. It's local people looking out for each other. If the police have become a state-sponsored violence gang, then it stands to reason that local people could do a better job looking out for and caring for their neighbors. This isn't a new idea.

Is that a gif of you trying to respond and accidentally joining a video chat?
I'm sorry you don't know words. I would like you to ask that you leave the word-talking to people with verbal skills.

Huh. Maybe they realize that images are a bad way to make an argument. Maybe you should try making a rational argument with words or something. That would be cool.

You did. It was censored by the MSM. I'm risking my life by resonding to it now, but the world will know eventually when the MSM is exposed. Just hold your breath and it will happen.

Seriously, just chime in with a sensible thing to say when you have a sensible thing to say. Not a copy of a copy of an image you've copypasted that you pretend is an opinion. Let me understand that you understand your "opinion" through words and speech. Let me hear some kind of real human thought or opinion from you. Reposting pictures is for bots. Let me see you're more than a piece of shit who can hit "post" on a website.

So, no. I guess. You haven't quite processed how "having an opinion" and expressing it works. That's nice. I hope you don't hurt too many people along the way by being an edgy fuck. Thanks for playing though.
Did you want to chime in about police or anything? I really think we were having a fun conversation about how abolishing the police might be a good thing to do in some jurisdictions where the police are no more than state-sponsored thugs. That's an interesting topic. Did you have any ideas that might be on topic here?
