Edit: To clarify, I'm not anti police but we are seeing riding cases of officers not being cited for misconduct, racial profiling, and even harassment of fellow officers. This leads to good apples not sticking around in the barrel. We have incredibly militarized police forces with little to no oversight; and what oversight we have is almost completely ineffective as a bad officer can just cross state lines and start over. Also, unless you want to start crapping out 12 kids for a family we actually do need immigration to maintain a populace to support a large economy.
Edit 2: I in no way implicated that we should disband all police departments, so if all you authoritarians could go ahead and stop with the straw man arguments that'd be great. This post was a commentary on how harshly we generalize literally any other demographic except for cops. When one demographic has "a few bad apples" then we immediately make new laws or allow prejudices to form. Whereas we have almost 40 years of documented police overreach and misconduct but we're still on the "it's just a few bad apples" train.
