Oh come now, the point being made is the police ARE THE THREAT. There is no other threat at the level of the armed government goons on site pointing loaded firearms at students. You replied to the answer of your question with “But what about the OTHER threat?” And if you could read just a tiny bit between the lines by the fact that nether you or the person you have replied to have listed another threat (other then general terrorism), maybe you could figure out that there is no threat these police are there to thwart.
How are you gonna put parenthesis around the point that was literally counterpoint to the comment.
They were saying the police were the biggest threat, yet we have repeated terrorist events from regular Americans (not cops as well?)
People died from those incidents. I didn’t even include just injuries or anything like that. Dead. Not pepper spray, not rubber bullets.
Run over.
And eight year old was fucking shot and killed.
To say that police or the only threat to LIFE at these events is just outright disingenuous. period.
There exists real threats that we need to address if we’re ever to pull back our gross reliance on police being some kind of savior figure or whatever bullshit other people believe they are.
All the US needs to do is embrace Peelian principles, but instead it’s a corrupt, power groping free for all.

We both know even if taking a more community driven approach like what Peel did in London would take a herculean effort and the public at this point would not likely buy in. Maybe in 50 years.

The argument is not that there are not non police risks, its that they pale in comparison (at a degree that the non police risk is so low to almost be a rounding error) to police risks. Also the police have shown over and over in the US they are not willing to protect the public.

Are they the only threat? If not, what do we do about the threat, as I asked, and have continued to ask

See that is something we can agree on.
