Please remove law enforcement from the streets so our children are safe. My town growing up had no police within 30 min drive and we were fine. We dont need them.

Ive never trusted cops, even back when they came to my school as a kid. They had that stranger with candy vibe, like they're being too nice. People are only too nice in the moment if they think their other actions (past, present, or future) would scare people off.

Priests and cops. Never trust em.
