I just don’t see how that can ever be possible with an institution that exists to protect the rich from the poor. So long as we have power inequality like that, the police system can only move in the direction of more corrupt until something is done to correct the root of cause of the social imbalance.

As much as I ultimately want to abolish police, the unfortunate truth is you can’t just take away police without also dismantling the power structures that necessitate the need for police. We need to build up before we can tear it down if we don’t want a whole lot of bloodshed.
