However the police didn't stop you being mugged, or your liquor store being robbed or the domestic abuser. So it seems more rational to pour resources into means of lessening the likelihood of these happening than introducing a host of new laws to react to anything that occurs due to addressable reasons.
And that would reduce the need for the police.
I just want to understand what is being said here: Because not everyone has a personal policeman standing next to them 24 hours a day, it would be better to get rid of the police and instead spend perhaps trillions of dollars in an attempt to create some sort of utopia in which the flaws of 100,000 years of human nature and human interaction are somehow completely eliminated, thus making police unnecessary? Is that your idea or did I miss something?
