Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Doing good things for you or your community does not negate the bad things.

Can we assess law enforcement throughout the US based on this standard? Or the states and federal government that facilitate their brutality and the prison industrial complex?

Heck, can we assess the United States, with its penchant for military adventurism by this standard?

Of course, even if it were a zero sum game, law enforcement these days causes more harm than good, and should still be abolished.

Do you think that law enforcement should be abolished entirely?
