“De facto abolition of policing” or “dip”? Pick one!

Cops throwing a tantrum over a dip would seem to prove a point, too.





But cops throwing a tantrum causing a crime spike proves their worth.

You can’t advocate for abolishing cops and also complain about cops self abolishing.

If we pretend the spike didn't happen during COVID and in other countries, sure.

Sure you can, for the same reason I can get mad at my neighbor if they demolish a shed with a nuke rather than a screwdriver.
