This cannot be a healthy attitude though. Like, a police force is one of the basic requirements of a society of even moderate size. The police suck much, much harder than they should, but I absolutely cannot believe that everybody working in law enforcement everywhere is an irredeemable cunt. That cannot be the correct take here
You seem to have developed a taste for boot, sailor. There is simply too much evidence that your take is not just complete bullshit, it’s fucking dangerous.
Eh. I’ve met police. They’ve actually been helpful to me when I was on the receiving end of a home break in. They serve a purpose. A lot of them are racist, sexist, violent thugs. But their role is nonetheless essential, and some of them can be decent. An unpoliced society has been trialed multiple times. I am not aware of any attempts where it worked out.
Home invasions aren’t just about “stuff.” Even if “they just want your TV bro” it’s about no longer feeling safe and secure in your home where you “should” be able to (those of us home invaded and untrusting know that there’s not really such thing as total safety, just relative safety, but most expect it even if it is naïve innocence.) What’s more sometimes home invaders steal your TV, sometimes they’re Richard Chase, B.T.K, The Nightstalker, some people get murdered or raped or both in their own home by an intruder. And even in cases of alleged gangstalking where someone(s) breaks in and moves shit around or leaves something rather than even taking anything, with the clear message “we can get in here, you’re not safe.” It’s not about the “stuff.”
Idk, maybe until your home gets broken into and your roommate gets pistol whipped and you’re all too poor to go to the hospital so we just superglued his head back together (didn’t work great, actually), you can’t know how it feels and are just stuck in the materialist “stuff” mindset, but yeah it can really mentally fuck people up actually.
(Of course, the police still don’t help with that as they always show up after, guns help.)

So you just being pedantic, or what’s good?
Other than that, what exactly is your point? Buy guns?
Well, yes. But also my main point is “you being a callous dickhead with ‘sorry about your stuff’” just makes it clear you’ve got no clue how it feels and probably have only a tangential idea of what “empathy” is at best.

Ok edgelord
How do you not constantly walk into walls with your eyes closed so tight?

All cops are not always bastards in all ways at all times, but ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS.

Time and energy are best spent on improving society not punishing those it left behind. Sorry about your stuff.
Tbf (and I have no dog in this fight other than:)

They didn’t say home invasion. But you keep all that info handy for when they do…

It was tho" just so you know.
