Abolish The Police?

It is an idea the rabbits have:

“This is the reason our young people are hopeless in America,” she began, as other panelists bickered around her. She explained that her activism in Chicago focuses on intracommunity violence. “Here’s a solution,” Disu said firmly. “We need to abolish the police.”

“Abolish the police?” came Kelly’s incredulous response, as a clamor of boos and protests rose from the forum.

“Demilitarize the police, disarm the police,” Disu pushed on, undeterred by the yelling. “We need to come up with community solutions for transformative justice.”

“Can we all agree that a loss of a life is tragic?” she asked the forum, attempting to explain her vision.

“Who’s gonna protect the community if we abolish the police?” Kelly asked, a this-must-be-a-joke smile spreading across her face.

“The police in this country began as a slave patrol,” Disu managed to squeeze in before being engulfed by the noise…

But Disu isn’t alone in her embrace of the idea. Though Black Lives Matter and other groups have been vocally campaigning for police reform since 2014, the tone (and the banners) of demonstrations in Chicago this summer have become explicitly abolitionist.

On July 15, Assata’s Daughters, a black feminist group often described as a radical version of the Girl Scouts, led an #AbolitionChiNow march across Bronzeville. On July 20, the #LetUsBreathe Collective, formed in the wake of Michael Brown’s death, launched an occupation of an empty lot across the street from CPD’s Homan Square facility in North Lawndale. The collective dubbed it “Freedom Square,” publicized it as an experiment in “imagining a world without police,” and called for the city to put its $1.4 billion police budget to other uses. Following the fatal police shooting of Paul O’Neal on July 28, young people made explicit calls for police abolition in front of CPD headquarters. And on August 7, several black teen girls organized a march for abolition that drew hundreds of supporters to the Loop.

You laugh? Bear in mind Britain practically did just that, by fully disarming the bobbies, even as they now have an entire army of Muslim invaders operating Sharia Zones. r-selection is a scale, and nothing is beyond the pale.

The thing with rabbitism is, it is all base urges, and no logic or foresight. They dislike powerful competitors who have no compunction about defeating an enemy, police fit that gestalt image in their minds, so therefore abolishing the police is a good idea.

Notice how there is no logic, no reasoned examination of future consequences. These are animals programmed to live in the moment, and not even programmed to do so logically and thoughtfully. A picture flashes through their mind, their amygdala fits it to some template, urges overtake them, and they act on it uncontrollably.

Ban the police. There is no thought of the savages running wild, sacking artsy liberal enclaves. There is no thought of gangs having regular gunfights, firing off shots as if there were no consequences, and the strays killing people left and right. There is no thought of what the truly sadistic, the purely evil that are out there, would do in the absence of police.

It is one more weakness to file away. Liberals cannot see consequences. For the most part, coming out of a time of r-selection, all we are seeing are the negative consequences – the impending collapse and the destruction of society. But used properly to bring about the destruction of liberals, this urge could prove as useful as any other advantage we hold.
