Do you think you can stand up to the really nasty gangs that exist some places? You will get them close to you if you remove police and do not provide a proper alternative.
Dude, I am living in #Venezuela and these "nasty" gangs which you have seen on television, are VERY RARE in real life. The real nasty gang, is the police force. They arm the gangs.
The problem with your reasoning that the police force is the real nasty gang is that a people get the government it deserves. If the police were removed the state would become impotent
, but in addition, the power vacuum that removing this gang leads to would likely lead to other gangs growing into the role that the police "gang" played.
You live in, and glorify Venezuela. Yet, an arm of the Venezuelan state, the police, you hate. I really struggle to understand how you don't see that this is a failing of the state.
The police in theory is neither good nor bad, it is the immune system of the state. An immune system can become broken (corrupt in the case of police), and attack healthy cells/people.
