[Serious] People who are advocating for the abolishment of the police force, who are you expecting to keep vulnerable people safe from criminals?

Progun, economics, and political compass memes. I didn't realize I was talking to an expert on communism! If you listened to the BLM movement and informed yourself on current police practices, youd know how skewed crime reports are. Police spend their time in low socioeconomic areas because those people are the most vulnerable in our capitalist system and police know they can take advantage of those groups to meet quotas and find crime. They can find crime because those areas are desperate for survival. Systemic racism and a history of over-policing pushes those people to crime out of necessity. So yes, fbi crime reports will show that low socioeconomic areas are riddled with crime, but if youre not asking why that may be, then of course you'll find all of this ridiculous. You're only seeing the surface level. Look up some literature on systemic racism and practices used like redlining
