Why should law enforcement be celebrated?
Because they are the ones who protect your ability to live a free and reasonably safe life.
If you think there should be no cops, I think you're insane and should move to Somalia and try it out.
If you do agree that having cops around is a good idea, then are cops not allowed to be gay? Do gay cops not get the same rights that non-cop gays get?
Also about the Somalia thing. If you knew anything about the politics there you would know that it is a bunch of government factions trying to fight for land ownership using threats of violence and coercion. So technically it's a bunch of mini states having a localized war. Basically a small scale version of our world.
If you knew anything about the politics there..
I've been following it for a long time.
Portions of it are excellent example of statelessness. Calling those areas 'mini-states' shows a misunderstanding too deep for me to attempt to iron out here.
You're way off the topic.
But I never asked them to protect me. Every interaction I've had with cops (speeding, broken tail lights, seatbelt violations) I have been coerced into paying them money based on victimless crimes.
I never said we should not have security. We should be able to hire people to have security. Malls, businesses, parking lots have security and they have a 0 kdr (kill death ratio).
Cops initiate violence and coercion more than the citizens do. Cops are not security. They enforce law, they don't protect and serve.
Where the fuck did you inflate that I said cops can't be gay. All I meant was, if you're going to dress up in a costume that makes you believe you have authority over people's will and sovereignty then you should probably not go to a parade that is celebrating people's claim to sovereignty.
(Also if you're going to rely on cops and law for your moral compass then you really haven't thought this through. You only do as your told. Which is the slave mentality. Wake the fuck up.)
victimless crimes.
Driving infractions are neither victimless, nor a crime. They are bylaws for the community good. You victimize the community when you drive/park like a douche.
We should be able to hire people to have security
Private security forces for those who can afford it, and fuck the 'lesser' people right?
If they can't afford justice they don't deserve it?
they have a 0 kdr
That is incorrect, private security has caused more than a few deaths. The 0 they do earn is in effectiveness.
I taunted more than a few 'security' in my youth. But I didn't (usually) try that shit on real cops.
Where the fuck did you inflate that I said cops can't be gay.
I'm sorry, are you triggered? Should I have included a warning that I won't coddle you?
You supported the idea that cops shouldn't be allowed at the gay pride parade. I then asked if that meant cops couldn't be gay.
You should get a grip on your feelings and read a bit slower. Those are questions I am asking, not quotes of you.
All I meant was, .. .. to twist this off the topic of gay-intolerance, and focus on my unconnected political agenda. Down with authority!!!
I'm not interested in a libertarian/anarchist debate.
I was talking about Canada, today, and the situation in Edmonton around the gay-pride parade.
If you want to talk ideal political systems I suggest you make a separate post in a relevant sub.
Why should law enforcement be celebrated? Is enforcement of the law through threats of violence and coercion really be celebrated especially when most laws that are broken are victimless.?
I thinks it's irresponsible and pathetic to allow others to force their will over yours, especially when you have not committed aggression against others. At that point you're a slave with no control over your own will.
There's no point of having police at any parade because that's not usually a place where aggression occurs. If anything the likely hood of aggression increases with police presence.
