Get rid of cops and prisons.
Protect and serve. You know we have some experience with community policing up here and alternative sentencing. Indigenous police so its not the RCMP caucasian, Indian (subcontinent), black, arab coppers. Healing circles, healing lodges, banishment to an island.
Though Americans generally think we a socialist country rather than a social democracy, our right is not as right and our left is not as left. Even the NDP is not as rabid as the US left which is seizing power, protesting or supporting what is going on. So it could happen here with debate. The RCMP commission has already announced that there is systemic racism in the RCMP. The PM has already said he is concerned by the Fort Chip Chief who you have already posted about. Something will happen there as the Chief is tight with Hollywood and Bishop TuTu. And he has money.
Here is the debate
As for policing and me, my white privilege gets me no hassles but neither does the RCMP come in a timely manner being 50 km away from me so I don't see anymore of a more rapid response from the funded-from-the-defunded community flying squad of crime counsellors. But hopefully this translates into more favourable self-defence laws so I can have priori peace of mind for pulling the trigger. You already have this in the US so you are ok because thank god America is the place where not only the criminals have guns and you have so many spares you send us most of our illegally imported guns that our criminals use.
Of course rape is underreported. Rape isn't going away and if you defund the police you won't have regular and cop rapists so that makes it easier to compile stats. What is the alternative to incarceration of rapists? Community service? Good idea, just don't them shovel snow and mow lawns in industrial areas.
I am a firm supporter of community service as a form of restorative/reparative justice. Work off your sentence. Learn though your sentence.
But honestly
Grand Potentate
I am willing to consider the defunding of police if that side tells me how serious crime and serious offenders will be dealt with in post-police society. The Minority Report is still fiction. Or are there serious offenders anymore?
