Better policies will need to change police culture - next to impossible. People are not fleeing states due to fewer police, and probably not due to the increases in robbery. Economic reasons are far more motivating. Fact is the only real increases in crime are in the poor neighborhoods and they can't "flee."

Any cut in police is due to tax revenue problems, which are solely economic and that has two effects, it makes people more likely to commit robbery (which is where the increase is), and to move somewhere else. Fewer police have nothing to do with anything. They always say crime is related to police to get more funding. Apparently the police-surveillance state has no effect on crime.

Crime is their cover story. What they're really for is to control and coerce and intimidate the People (primarily non-whites, but whites too). If you understand what's happening you will realize we are being prepared for global totalitarianism, which means total control, no freedom at all. Just wait until central bank digital currency arrives, which is on it's way:

Won't be any crime then.

Just arm all the citizens and give them carte blanche to shoot criminals on sight.

I've used facts and logic and reference links to upgrade your understanding. For free. You should thank me for not confirming your biases, which seems to be what you want. How will you ever progress, adapt, evolve, change or learn if you can't fix your unexamined assumptions with facts?

No, I want you to please stay on topic so I won't have to delete all your posts and ban you. It's ok to have a few off topic comments but your extremely long, off topic posts are not ok. If you won't see a therapist maybe read this book.

Aren't you the one trying to control me? A post is not off-topic if it replies to a prior post. Banning people is exactly what people (or Twitter) do when they refuse to face the truth. Specifically it is cognitive dissonance that creates anxiety when two ideas try to occupy the same place in the mind. A healthy person able to learn, evaluates the validity and upgrades. They don't melt down.
