    I explicitly said that I’m all for justice. You are being dishonest with your last statement, which is an emotional reaction that is completely unnecessary. Cool down.

    So if your sources are correct, then when comparing the organization that should have the monopoly on violence, to how much violence they enact, it’s 15%,… it’s kinda dumb, isn’t it? It’s dumb to expect the organization with the monopoly on violence to enact an order of magnitude less violence than the “competitors”.

      Man the monopoly of violence is certainly not the right to murder unarmed people! Do you realize what you’re saying?!

        When other people murder far more people, is the police just supposed to watch it happen?

        Is there an end to your naive idealism?

          That’s not the question. Police stopping murderers doesn’t mean police has to become murderers too. If I’m naive or idealistic, you’re a fascist.

            So how is the police supposed to stop murderers who threaten to murder them? Care to elaborate your ultimate wisdom?

              Do you know there countries where the police is unarmed? It’s called civilization.
