Defund The Police

Defund The Police

We should be guarded. All week people keep saying we ought to de-fund the police in this country. It sounded ridiculous to me. Get rid of police? I can't imagine how foriegn and stupid that must sound to more than half of us. Not just the usual closed minded half, but even to open minded people. It turns out only 5% of arrests are for violent crime. We do not need police with guns for the rest.

We are the most precious resource of our country. In fact the resources are the country. If you have an allegiance to us people and this land you are a patriot, that is a good thing. If you have an allegiance to the apparatus, you are a nationalist, that's un-American and a bad thing. Americans are not more equal than others, and there's no separate but equal, they tried that already.

So, as the most precious resource, we should have a system of guards to guard us. City Guards, County Guards, Federal Guards...and a small police force for the times when we need tough guys or gals. Which is hardly ever.

Why wouldn't the government want us protected? Why do they feel the need to "police" us, when for the most part, we are law abiding? A guard would protect and serve, that would be the job description, to protect us. Today that is a marketing slogan, police have no legal obligation to protect and serve. A police protects words written down in criminal codes, guards would protect us, the humans. I think that might be better.
