I think: police and fire departments should not exist

Their purpose is soley to help stupid people from burning down their house or being killed by some idiot with a gun. So just get rid of police and fire departments, let the morons shoot each other and burn their houses down by being morons and forgetting to unplug the toaster or whatever dumb shit they do, let the rest of us semi-intelligent people live in peace without having to pay taxes to deal with their problems... Let them die. IIN????

    I suppose people who have heart attacks are just stupid too?? Where do you think Ambulances originate from?

    Not very thought through. Great arguments for reforming or getting rid of these exist, none are presented here.

      And what do you do if it's police who are raping and attacking people?
      Don't bother going to the courts, either, because they are all corrupt, and you won't find any justice there.

      You must be really stupid, because this has been going on for decades!
      I have personally witnessed numerous instances of this ethically bereft and ethically bankrupt behaviour from police-criminals, so it's not just a few bad apples, it's the entire bunch that are rotten!

        As have I, but there are still a great number of police that genuinely want to help people.
        Of course there's going to be the corrupt ones, as with every profession but imo a lot of the corruption comes from higher up, not from the officers themselves ..

          So if you launder drug money for a gang, you aren't part of a criminal organization as long as a few of the gang members are nice people? The "good" cops are expected to protect their brothers from accountability for their crimes, therefore they are all participating in the criminal activity as a group.

    Please, oh please tell me it's just a troll. There's no way someone can be so stupid. No way.

    The purpose of police is to enforce "laws." Not to protect anyone from anything. Literally only to make sure people behave in an orderly fashion. Firefighters put out awesome fires all the time, when fires are cool.

      Which pretty much eliminates the whole world except for Antarctica and maybe Greenland.

  • What about when a car catches on fire after an accident?

    What about when a community is affected by a brushfire? Are you going to stop going to work and try to extinguish it yourself?

    What about when a vacant home catches on fire and is next to an occupied home, are you going to get your garden hose and put it out?

    my volunteer fire department will not visit my house in a fire because i won't pay the association fees of 50 dollars a year. yet they receive my tax dollars to buy equipment. fuck them up the ass. i rather burn down . they are just a bunch of arsonists anyway. they get caught starting fires in the news all the time

    We, the elite 1%, own the police. They are not guarantors of social justice. They keep society running in an orderly way so that our businesses can continue to operate profitably.

        Precisely, my friend. High net worth security includes assault rifles, body guards, and armored limousines.

    I agree with you, in essence.

    What they don't seem to realize, is that they are not just killing one another, and burning their own houses down; they are killing everyone, and burning everyone's house down, including their own!

    In recent history, this corrupt police-state has become the worst criminal organization going! They are extremely poor arbiters, who protect the worst criminals, at the expense of everyone else.

    They only think that they are saving someone's life, but in reality, for every person that they save, ten other people will likely die somewhere else in the world.

    The reason for this is quite simple.
    Currently, there is not enough food or resources in the world for everyone.
    People in the More Developed Countries (MDCs) generally use about 10 times the amount of resources that people in the Less Developed Countries (LDCs) use.
    Save one person's life here, and ten will likely die elsewhere.

    None of this is sustainable, and yet the world's population keeps growing (but I think that we are at the point now, where we have hit the ceiling to this insane growth).

    This civilization will collapse within the next 46 years, but probably much sooner than that, because our entire economy is centered around the inexpensive availability of petroleum resources, and we are running out, quickly. We also no longer have the luxury of time, nor the resources available, nor the skills required, to transform the economy over to a renewable and sustainable one. Then, many billions of people around the world will likely die.

    Ironically, about the only thing that could save us, is a very severe disease pandemic, because it would buy us more time. But it would need to be very severe, and it would need to kill off at least one-half, or more, of the human population, in a short span of time.
    Fortunately, this might already be happening, as several new (resistant) emerging diseases are spreading around the world.
    Don't let the fear-mongerers get to you. I would not even begin to become concerned, until the world's population decreased to below 1 billion people, should I survive.
    So it's not just police and firefighters, it's the doctors too!
