Unarmed social workers, unarmed investigators, better social safety nets, community. Most of what you think we need police for wouldn’t be necessary in a socialist and especially communist future when people have their needs met. Modern policing started in the 19th century, we didn’t need it before and we definitely don’t need the militarized version we have now.
What good does a cop do now that wouldn’t be done better by someone with narrower focus and training?
The root of the problem is police culture and using police to handle situations that they aren’t trained for. People who say ACAB are referring to how current police organizations tend to fire whistle blowers and protect officers who abuse their power.
I’m genuinely curious; What do people that hate all cops think would be a better alternative?

Actual accountability for cops. None of this “blue wall” bullshit, and they can lose the “us vs. them” attitude.
