Cops do not prevent crime. The police will stand on the next car of a train and just watch through the door while you get stabbed.

In fact, they also do not solve crime. 98% of major crimes go unsolved.

The police already have a fuckload of funding and they choose to use it on militarizing themselves and defending murderers-in-blue.

They do not choose to use the nearly $200 billion they get every year for better training to make them a humane organization of peacekeepers; the training they choose is called "Warrior Training", which encourages cops to see every interaction as though they are a warrior engaging with an enemy combatant.

The institution of the police department in America is rotten from its origins as the Slave Patrol all the way to up to present day.
