And maybe, in the end, the majority of people won’t want to abolish the police, but they should be allowed to know that is an option on the table and encouraged to think about it so that they can make an informed choice.
The problem is that “abolish” is super confusing and vague. Abolish is going to sound like “won’t exist” to lots of people.
And if that is what people are advocating, then you are getting high on your own supply.
I mean, suppose someone is swerving through traffic drunk - you are supposed to call “community elders” to figure it out? Are we really having this conversation?
