If you think it would be cool to live in basically a purge city then go for thinking that's a good option. This is why our nation is going downhill.

We Shouldn't defund the police. The police need training on dealing with high-crisis situations involving the opposite race. And the police Department should not uphold their policemen when they have done something wrong.

Training is key to improving police-community relations. In Camden, New Jersey, the police department was disbanded and restructured with an emphasis on community policing and de-escalation training. As a result, violent crime reduced significantly.
