First, I'd like to start with saying that I'm from the UK, otherwise known as the main vassal state of America other than Israel (or the other way round depending on how you look at it).

I may sound ignorant asking this question as I know of the atrocities that the police in America have committed regarding minorities. However, I'm definitely confused as to why the police in general as a profession is just going into a career that directly kneels down to the ruling class and does its bidding.

Is the ideal situation abolishing the police as an institution? If so, what would replace them? I ask this question because of DSA members advocating for abolishing the police.
