When I was early in my transition to becoming a hardcore leftist I was really trying to grasp different concepts. One thing that I had trouble trying to understand was the opposition to cops. I knew they were obviously bad, but surely they aren’t ALL bad… right? I genuinely believed ACAB went too far, and we still need police to prevent crimes in every city. I now know that that’s very wrong and propagandized, and I’ll try to dismantle that in this post.
First of all, if you’re here, you probably agree that every person is different and are only a product of their environment. Not a single person is inherently a bad person and wants to do bad things for the sake of doing bad things.
Now, if you do understand this, then let me ask this question: why do we need police? If every person is a product of their environment, then there is no reason to “prevent” crimes by policing and locking them up. The real problem is the source, ie., the environment.
One of the biggest and most widely accepted criticisms of capitalism is its inherent requirement of coercion. In order for the upper class to keep and uphold the power it maintains it needs to let the lower class know that it doesn’t have any power. They intentionally keep the environment to make sure that we don’t have any power, and people who are affected by it are locked up to scare us out of doing anything about it.
This is the problem. Of course there are good people who are also cops. The problem is that they are participating in upholding the coercive system and actively locking up desperate citizens, profiting from it, and feeding into the system. That’s why we say ACAB, because there is absolutely no reason why you would want to lock people up and hurt people for solely that reason.
Now, here are the statistics. From ABC7NEWS: “An ABC OTV analysis of state and local police funding and violent crime data in the U.S. overall between 1985 and 2020 found no relationship between year-to-year police spending and crime rates.”
From The Washington Post: “More spending in a year hasn’t significantly correlated to less crime or to more crime. For violent crime, in fact, the correlation between changes in crime rates and spending per person in 2018 dollars is almost zero.”
From TraningReform.org: “From 2015 to 2019 more than 5,500 people were killed by US law enforcement. Those killed were often disproportionately minority citizens living in Native American, African American, and Latino communities; many of whom were experiencing a mental health emergency.”
With American police training being the lowest of any reported country, it’s clear to see a correlation between over-policing and violence in minority communities.
Looking at the slogan “Defund the Police”, (something that, despite being spouted by politicians, never actually happened) it’s not about getting rid of police altogether. It’s about redirecting funds from over-funded police departments and moving them to highly needed services like mental health services, drug prevention and rehabilitation services, housing, and many others.
By looking at the data, we can see that police don’t prevent crime, they actually have no affect on it at all! Why is it that you only see police in poor communities, as opposed to rich ones? Again, it’s not because the people in it are “just bad people”, it’s because it is poor.
I hope this helps some of you who do see this to clear up some confusion around the topic, as it is very cloudy in American politics for obvious reasons.
