ACAB. - Lemmy.World

Serious question: What’s the leftists position on police in the ideal but realistic socialist world? What would make ACAB irrelevant?

Probably some combination of:

Require them to have a 4 year degree No qualified immunity Make them also liable to civil suits Heavily slash their budget Disarm all of them, save maybe for SWAT much, much better descalation training (pretty sure they’re trained to escalate immediately)

I would add a measure of public election for every branch of LE, at minimum. If I MIST have a boot on my neck, I may as well get to choose it.
