They're not a very good one considering how they have a very poor case closure rate for serious violent crimes, and the state and federal justice systems of the US are disturbingly okay with false convictions and excessive retribution.
sure, I don't disagree with you. The police are a moronic institution and ACAB, but this meme's dead stupid in order to farm worthless lemmy upvotes.
c/politicalmemes has a quality standard for memes? Besides which the argument was they might still be useful, and the versions we've seen in the US so far have shown to cost way more than their value (and that's before we get to asset forfeiture).
At this chapter it's long time to start implementing programs with the goal of completely replacing law enforcement in the US with other systems, including enough benefits to assure people aren't driven to crime by desperation.
