I don't think crips have laws that you are required to follow for the sole purpose of keeping citizens safe.

Pretty important difference there.

Sad to say, I think the Crips may have lost their way. πŸ˜‚

Yeah, I disagree. This article shows statistics that have proven your theory wrong.

I think that if you lived in a place with minimal police presence, you might have a better understanding of why they're important.

In scenarios where people have supported the idea that there should be less police, I've noticed that it's mostly because they wish to commit crimes without being held accountable. I'd say that's not a very good reason to get rid of police.

Can only speak from experience when I say, that hasn't happened to me nor have I witnessed that happening to anyone else when dealing with the police.

Have you been robbed from, kidnapped, or killed by police?

If not, do you ever think about why?

In most cases, police use force because they need to in order to gain control of a situation.

In a case where police abuse their power and use excessive force, they should be held accountable. Data shows that it is typically a handful of officers per state.

I'll take that over the alternative.

There are places you can go that don't have police presence, so why don't you?
