It was a feel good blast of anger. I get that. But next time we need to choose our words to what we mean, not what the rw will twist them into.
If you really want to abolish the police, then by all means use the phrase. If you mean de-militarize, or reform hiring/training/policy, then say that instead.
I fully support de-militarizing police. I fully support changing hiring criteria to get more level headed recruits, change how they are trained to react to both force and resistance, and change how incidents are handled up to and including termination and prosecution. fwiw.
