Godawful Damned Fools!

That’s my description of ANYBODY who wants to defund or abolish the police, and/or get rid of prisons altogether, turning criminals loose to prey on the rest of us with impunity. Because without the police there to get between us and the criminals, and the prisons in which to keep them, we’re going to descent into a very dangerous world where those who have most guns will rule. And the criminals always have the most guns, no matter what the laws say. The movement to eliminate the cops and prisons can only benefit one group of people, and that is the criminal element. Anybody who favors eliminating the cops and prisons is either a criminal or a damned fool, one or the other, maybe both. Personally, I don’t want to live in a world where there is no police protection, and I’m far too old and infirm to resist, myself. Those ignorant politicians who go along with it must think they have something to replace them with, and I’d love to know what it is—and it isn’t a social worker. Having them answer police calls, as has been suggested, without being armed is sure suicide, for them, and everybody else involved. (Just common sense)
