    They still have a police mate. The city one was dissolved on the same day the county one started operations. There was not a day without police.

    Likewise, if you are basing your decision making on “what most people want to hear”, you probably are both a) not an effective strategist, and even further b) not a very good person.

    Maybe a better salesman than you though. Not that I’m a salesman at all.

    You’re selling a nice system, but calling it total mayhem and anarchy. Nobody’s gonna want to buy it.

    You seem to forget that people have to vote for things to happen. In a democratic system, anyway. If you want people to vote for police reform, call it police reform, not police abolishment. People read headlines, not articles. Most people read that a candidate is for police abolishment, it’s an immediate nope for them. People don’t want to live in a lawless society and nobody’s gonna read into what the candidate says they mean by abolishment.
