Would you take it?


Money is after tax but if you take it then as of 2023 America will literally abolish the entire police force nationally. There will no longer be any police in the entire country.

Not even the police dogs.

Coastguard, fire service and ambulance service are still around. Just 0 police

This is an incredibly stupid topic because with that kind of money I can flee America and retire somewhere else while America burns to the ground.

America needs a police force, unfortunately. However, with 14M in the bank, I would no longer need America.

The topic is basically asking "Would you let America burn to the ground for $14M?"

hmm, that probably results in going back to lynch mobs/vigilante justice and private security/police forces, similar to old school detective agencies like the pinkertons. That or the military/national guard taking over as police.

Fuck it, let's do it.

I'd only take the $14 million if they replaced the police with an alternative. Something for each task like...

-traffic
-patrol

-domestic violence issues

-drugs

-murders and rapes

-etc.

Obviously, for people wanting to either defind or outright abolish, this would be the best alternative.

Seriously tho, when has there been a story of a cop actually doing a good thing any time recently?

During the Uvalde shooting, we had hundreds of cops standing around doing nothing like a bunch of cowards while innocent children were being mowed down by the shooter.

Think of all the salaries that were being paid on that day for the cops to do absolutely nothing.

Good stories don't get media attention unless it's something heart warming like saving a kitten. They ain't typically gonna make a news story about a cop who actually did their job.

This is true

But "Good cops get no attention so the constant bad cops and system that completely corrutps cops and protects their corruption is ok" is no argument

Imagine if Dcoctors kept murdering patients and then defended by "Well no mentions when I proscribe the right medicene sometimes."

Even with that kind of money without a passport and citizenship you aren't going anywhere eithin the next month.

Anyways I'll probably take it, buy a wealth of guns and just move out to a decent rural area with internet.

There are tons of stories about cops just helping people. It's usually just small gestures that brighten that person's day. And those don't get national attention like the outrage stories do.

The most recent one I can remember that got the most attention was in 2019. A CHP was called in for a "disturbance" at the busiest DMV in Los Angeles. Turns out, a woman was getting frustrated because she was hearing impaired and the clerks were having trouble communicating with her. The responding officer not only assisted with sign language interpretation, but he also paid for her ID when he realized she didn't have enough to cover the fees.

https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/chp-officer-helps-woman-communicate-with-dmv-workers-using-asl/

Or, if you want something extremely recent, a few weeks ago, an officer in Atlanta got an indecent exposure call and found that it was a homeless man whose only clothes were too small for him. So instead of citing him, the officer bought the man some clothes and shoes from Wal-Mart

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta-police-officer-offers-act-of-kindness-to-man-needing-clothes

This one was an officer that saw a kid running a lemonade stand and asked what he was trying to get with his money. When the boy told him he wanted blue sneakers, the officer went and bought him the sneakers.

https://valley.newhavenindependent.org/article/ansonia_cops_act_of_kindness_goes_valley_viral

And some body cam footage for an officer helping a panicking father perform cpr on his toddler.

Wasn't making a argument. Typically people don't get praised for actually doing their job. Just was pointing it out.

Does suck though cause it can give a profession a bad reputation. Worse with correctional officers cause everything we do is kept from public attention period unless it's something bad.

Closest good thing I saw was inmate died recently and the news article mentioned a officer (didnt mention name of course) immediately attempted life saving measures when the inmate was found unresponsive. But had he actually managed to save him I promise there woulda been no news coverage. I know cause inmates have been saved by literally attempted murder by another inmate and not a peep even in the local news.

Which I'm personally fine with I sure as hell didnt want media up in my face asking me questions when I saved a inmates ass

Everyone who voted yes is fucking crazy. You guys realize it's gonna be Mad Max right? Without police, there will be no law to enforce and crime is gonna go waay up, and you will have to worry about your house and property being broke into. Theft, assault, rape, murder. Nobody to enforce these and keep people from commiting these acts with jail time.

I'd bet money the military would step in. But it would be simply to enforce what the feel like enforcing. Like stopping rioters looters etc. Breaking up protests but guy breaks into your home and steals a bunch of shit? Shit out of luck.

There will certainly be consequences for the rest of the world but thats where the money comes in... assuming you can exchange it fast enough.
