    So basically you suggest that we get rid of the police and just hope that the general public isn’t just as racist as the police force? Sadly I don’t think that’ll work; while I can’t back that up with statistics I don’t believe that the police is more racist then the general public and so the world wouldn’t be better without them.

    I advocate that sort of training for everyone. Teach guns to schoolkids at the same time you’re teaching them to drive.
    I also advocate the abolition of police

    So you’re an anarchist or what? I don’t believe that anarchy will work in a modern society

      I suggest we don’t monopolize lethal force in the hands of a group we know to be racist (and inherently servants of Capital). Who do you suppose it is throwing people out their houses so landlords can continue profiting off the human need for shelter? Not people’s neighbors.

      I also don’t like the idea someone bigger than me can attack me with no recourse because neither of us has a gun.

      Idunno, maybe. I’m pretty sure that

      Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

      makes sense.
