which nation?

also again, that was very much not my point. you can engage with my argument while rejecting everything regarding cops. i think my argument stands if i went ahead and delete every sentence with police in it.

well id suggest you read it again if that was your only take from the comment. also does, or does not, police reduce crime at a big festival, or at a demonstration or any other gathering of people? Do police regulating traffic reduce traffic accidents by enforcing traffic laws?

Ever heard of gang ruled areas? those can exist because of underfounded police. id say those have higher crime than police controlled cities.

Also again, not at all the essense of my comment, but rather a supporting point.

well does police being founded stop a crime from happening? does haveing a car mechanic around prevent your car from breaking down? its the same with firefighters. they do prevent these events to an extend. regular car check ups keep the engine going, police presents keeps areas safer and firefighters overviewing critical situations helps detect and extinguis fires early.

But all of those jobs have also a reactionary nature. sure its best to never need fire fighters, but you cant undercut it. because founding them after the fire is too late. Cutting their budget shows low insight and thats what the post makes fun of.
