Ok, which other police department is going hire the now unemployed ~~swines~~ fine agents of law?
It would probably become more lawful WITHOUT a police force
This is a thing that happens. The police department in my small town was disbanded in the 00s I think, only CHP would do anything in town and they weren't worried about anything, there were few problems. We have them back now, but they are on the ballot to be disbanded or defunded or something quite often. I for one don't think we need people waiting at stop signs to rob exclusively poor people for the lowest of priorities.
Well there would certainly be fewer crimes being investigated.
Laws of the jungle sometimes work better than a corrupt police force.
I meant it tongue-in-cheek in terms of accountable paperwork. Like when Trump kept saying the USA had such high COVID rates because we were testing so much.
Depends what the goals are.
The SS. Uh, i mean the Secret Service.
That's traditionally been referred to as USSS.
But seeing as how traditions are now out the fucking window, SS will suffice.
