    So what I’m gathering is you are not marginalized in your home country, and can’t conceive of why someone may not be protected by or safe under the status quo.

    You further seem fine with people socially or physically less powerful than the dominant group being at their oppressors’ mercy.

    I’m really glad you feel safe, but “I have never been raped or racially profiled.” does not do much as arguments go to convince me your system is ripe for reproduction.

    Our policemen isn’t just some random dude with a gun but people who have been trained

    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 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.

      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.
