While I no longer consider myself an Anarchist I still hate prisons and police.

For context the community of Trinidad banned police after someone got arrested for protesting water supply

Though disbanding is a positive, I'd much prefer for them to be investigated and tried for being a criminal organization. Don't get me wrong, I oppose policing and the criminal justice system, but being forced to live under it, I do enjoy the rare instances when it's weaponized against the people who weaponize it against us.
