The police burned down the Apple store.
They insist on waging war in their jurisdictions against the citizens they are meant to protect, so now they have war zones in their jurisdictions.
No police, no war zone.
No war zone, no war.

Society is composed of people. It is a shared human value.
We permit corporations and police to the extent — and only to the extent — they benefit people in society. We mustn't permit them to think they exist to benefit themselves.
If they forget, they should be destroyed.

Any institution that exists to benefit itself at the expense of humans in society is a failure.
Failed institutions will always breed failure.
We can't have peace if we empower institutions to wage war against our own brothers and sisters.
May we end all failed institutions.

The mission of police, ostensibly, is fostering a peaceful lawful society.
They wage war instead.
So the riot is their fault.
Thus every broken window is theirs.
And every act of riot.
And of course their escalation of every situation is theirs, too.

Or, I should say, it's a failed institution, if what we want is an institution that keeps peace.
Police behave and talk and carry themselves in society as if they think they were hired to wage war, not keep peace. Exactly so.
Who hired them? We did. I did.
We should fire them.

Abolish the police.
I don't think wanting to abolish an institution that wages war against our brothers and sisters should be controversial. I don't think it should have to be explained.
I think the opposite proposition—keeping them—should bear those burdens.
