>anarchist bitch
>Yes
People are failing to understand the ramifications of a positive right like that though
The right to housing, the right to healthcare, etc
maybe I worded it badly
yes, that spooky idea that things will need to be provided
Police in the USA have no obligation to protect you
Also, I'm not even an anarchist, this name is just intentionally edgy
Police in the USA only punish crime
they don't stop it
or prevent it
I mean
that's not their job
there shouldn't be "preventative arrests"
Prevention is one aspect of punishment
Like if they see someone actively committing a crime
that just leads to the potential of arresting anyone for any reason
and is hella authoritarian
so
but they don't have any obligation to protect you
if you look it up
to some degree
I mean, in practice, they don't always
no
so like if someone is being killed, wait till the assault is over to arrest them?
but apprehending active criminals is a form of protection
They can do that griselda
that's a form of protection
I feel like I don't understand the question then
you can't really preemptively protect someone
Simply put police have no obligation to protect
wtf do police do then
kill black people
put people in jail afterwards
that's their only job
that's not preventative at it's core
Police should have a duty to protect citizens from criminals
Actively
to what degree
I think the institution should be abolished as a whole and replaced with community watches
