I’m not saying it’s “good enough,” I’m saying that it has improved. It will hopefully continue to improve. It’s far from perfect. I have no disagreements there. My problem was with this statement:
If police and prisons made societies safer the USA would be the safest society on the planet.
Well it is one of the safest societies on the planet. And it continues to get safer.
This is not the argument against police you think it is.
With one reply you start with backpedaling, then you suggest a moderate approach to the police problem.
Has hoping that the problem would improve worked for us so far? People are being murdered everyday. When school shootings happen, the cops wait outside for the gunfire to stop before going in.
Your moderate solutions and hoping for things to improve hasn’t fixed anything.
We need a progressive solution or things are going to continue the way they always have.
I’m sorry but your suggestions aren’t helpful and I won’t be listening to any more of them.
I literally never said anything about police. I’m not trying to argue about police. Just that the world is in fact a safe place that continues to get safer. If the fact that the crime continues to drop, if that destroys your argument about police being bad, then maybe get a new argument about why police are bad. Crime is down. It’s just a statement of fact.

Honey it was literally the topic of the discussion. Please stop backpedaling, it’s humiliating.
