I am not in the group that lately called for defunding the police. No, I'm not into such half measures. End all tyranny I say. The only way to do that is to end the monopoly of police, courts, etc. Anarchy 2020.

As to the potential problem with security for abortion centers, I think it's the same thing as how only the relatively rich can afford private school. The problem is you have to pay for the public option whether you pay for the private option or not, and the public option is usually more expensive and lower quality. Charter schools are a great example of what happens when people are allowed to pick a private option instead of rather than in addition to paying for the baseline public option. They help the poorest most.

Spike . Nobody w five ounces of brains wants to defund police force . We want to reform .
None of this was in our daily menu of dark thoughts and anger , until latest events and stories . And that’s a shame actually , but it’s true .
It has to be a better way to select , educate , training , monitor police force and their actions . Every Out of highschool boy can be given a gun and A basic 6 month training and become a police man / woman . I have a problem w that
Police are not to deliver justice , are to bring criminals to justice . And it seems to me , that “ Justice “ is the bigger problem .
I don’t want my police man to die either , when an asshole is threating him w a gun and he is there to interfere and protect . I want my police man to be Trained and accountable to not kill / rape / mistreat people who are not a threat to them .
Is that too much to ask ?
I ve read the article , thank u for sharing .
Y the states are not arresting these protestors who camp out of plannet parenthood ? Y not charging them and put them in jail for few weeks ? Under what law , is ok for them to protest their belief that abortions are a crime ? Y are we harboring religious beliefs more than peace ?
Anyone that protests anything w violence should chill in jail for few and that’s justice in my book .

I know personal experiances are not valuable / evidences / facts , but here we are :
I work nights . Unfortunately , I am a woman , and worse , noticeable . The winter time , when dark early , I make sure I get gas at daylight and around my house . My hospital is 30 miles away and in the worse area of our district , I mean , u just don’t stop for nothing around that area , don’t matter if u are black or white or w polka dots for all is worth .
Last year I made it to ED and by 0100 I was too sick even to talk . ( sleep deprivation / dehydration / forgot to eat too . Moron ). I left work , and going through 4 stoping lights b4 getting on the highway , and the car next to me , two morons , started trying to talk , signal , u know the deal .
Normally , sad but true , I even have a baseball cup in my car for such occasions . I try to pin all my hair up and try to pass for a boy .
The assholes followed me all the way to other side of the water spike . 30 miles , two bridges , one tunnel . In two occations were next to me in the two lane tunnel and I thought they will shoot me , the passenger show me his gun .
I think I peed my self . Literally . But I drove . When I crossed the water and they were still crushing infront / by side / and almost on top of the back of my car , I drove straight to the police station near my house instead of going to my house .
They were gone when I parked my car .
I told the police men everything , I was shaking , they escorted me to my house an hr later .
The whole time I was there , two of the police men were flirting and commenting on my appearance . I did not had scrubs on . I changed to jeans and a v neck top b4 I left the hospital , bcz I vomited on my scrubs . I have boobs . I am sorry ? The police men that drove w me at my house , and they were kind enough to come all the way to front door , they also asked if I am single , and one gave him his number . And I had to say “ thank u “.
I don’t have any kids spike , but that’s not the police I want for the daughter that I don’t have , The same ways the child molestor coach or teacher is not the one that I want , or the weirdo doctor and the uncaring nurse are not my choice .
Who regulates the police force ? Who checks on them and their actions ? Who holds accountable the ones that should protects us ?
Here is a well said to my opinion part from John :
