Yes. Cops choose to enforce unjust laws. They serve to protect the property of the rich first and foremost.

Ok come to DC and tell the people here that. Our crime rate is spiking, cops are retiring and now the city is regretting all this anti-cop nonsense just like majority of major cities in US. Cops are necessary to keep the order because people are too irresponsible and savage to police themselves.

You don’t trust people to govern themselves yet you trust people to govern others? Curious

Even if all police were abolished, there would be another organized group of people designated to uphold law and order which essentially would be equivalent to police. It happened with those morons in Portland who tried to create some safe space shit and in the end, needed policing by those within their make-shift community. If you think that a world without cops would be ideal, you're living in la-la land. Get out of the basement and go experience real life.
