Which communities don't want Police?


I know that people have issues with harassment, misconduct and corruption, but that's different than not wanting Police in their neighborhood.


I think if Policing for profit was stopped, the Drug War was ended and there was complete transparency on our forces people would once again gain respect for the Police.

Right now however the Police routinely violate our Constitutional rights with impunity.

They pay the cop's salaries just like everyone else.

So no...You'll give them the same police protection as you give everyone else whether they want it or not.

Our area does not want police......or, fire protection.

We do have to go to the county sheriff from time to time for paper work.

Lucky you.

In a liberal state like California where we live, taking an unloaded gun to public is considered illegal.

So we need police officers here. Lucky for me, the country /city I live in right now is considered one of the safest city in the country.

But I cannot imagine any other cities without police officers.

One way to correct the problem is to require all public official to reside in the area that that are hired, appointed, or elected for and to.
Being told where to live.

Yep, that will increase the number of solid applicants for positions.

How do you investigate crime? Apprehend criminals?


Would it just be vigilante justice and he said she said?

"Should we quit providing Policing Neighborhoods that don't want cops?"

Isn't this basically what happened in Detroit? The news from Ferguson was all about how they "don't trust the police". They don't "trust the prosecutor".

The street chant was:

"Who do we want? - Darren Wilson!
How do we want him? - DEAD!"

The top cop in the USA went to Ferguson to reinforce the entire idea that Police can't be trusted. The State Governor pre-judges the case before the investigation was completed and before the Grand Jury got the case.

Why should there be any police in an area like that? They appear to only want "Street Justice".
Perhaps they should have exactly what they want.
