Police aren’t a deterrent.
probably true if you can prove that most crimes occur with the police there to witness them. Otherwise you would have to argue that criminals tend to avoid performing a crime in front of the police. that would be deterrence.

this is not to say that you cannot make a case for a more effective use of that deterrence.
but its clearly logical that criminal activity would be greatly increased if there were no police and that is also deterrence.
the good news is minus a police force many of those criminals would face swifter justice at the hands of honest armed citizens.

Throw a pebble in the river and it will flow the other way.

Put an IRS agent next to the CEO and all tax laws will be followed.
Are you saying a pebble will flow against the current? The IRS has the audit process and does not need to sit next to the CEO. appropriate use of resources

The deterrence is putting them in jail so they can't commit more crimes. Idiot Democrats don't want police and they don't want jails.

They hold a delusional world view that criminals simply need a social worker and neverending stimulus checks.

Uh.... the subject was a cop deterring crime, not ridiculous analogies.
It’s obvious you can’t come up with a sensible denial to what I wrote.

Remember all, we do not need police, we need trained counselors to sweep in and defuse these situations.

So, I believe you are trying to say two different factions of possible African heritage were settling a squabble via the use of firearms?
i am reluctant to comment further as the gun play may be an expression of their ethnicity which leaves me unqualified to comment

Ask one of your favorite people, Rudy Giuliani, what happened in NYC after he started his stop-and-frisk program. Estimated thousands of black lives saved during his tenure.
Estimated? That’s kinda silly.

“We’ve estimated that violating your rights is saving thousands of lives!”

Did it save any white lives? How do you know? If you can’t really quantify it, are you just really telling me to take Rudy’s word for it? Lol. Really?

Classic straw man. Stupid, but funny.
