      “law and order”

      You jest. Murder a bunch of innocent kids in schools - prison. Kill a CEO who headed up a death panel - death penalty.

      Law and order has always been a tool to oppress minorities. The people who loudly proclaim to be in favour of it never feel bound by laws themselves.

        Have you ever actually needed the police? Once you do, I’m pretty sure you won’t feel repressed.

          Can you give some example situations where you believe police would make things better?

          EXACTLY! That’s why Uvalde called 200 of them when Children were getting Murdered!

          Had someone pull a shotgun at a house party once. I called 911. They wanted to know which manufacturer of shotgun before they’d dispatch a car, and finally showed up 13 hours later.

          Such an expansive feeling of freedom and protection! They truly are heros! Like a meatball sub.

          ETA: if only they’d thought to call the cops at Uvalde.

          No. For what? Nobody actually needs police.

            Not sure if sarcastic or not. If not, you’re in the right community for that statement.
