רבי חנינא סגן הכהנים אומר, הוי מתפלל בשלומה של מלכותז, שאלמלא מוראה, איש את רעהו חיים בלעו.
Police are needed to confront crime and promote safety. But their existence and presence has deterrent effects. And Pirkei Avos (above) explains this that if not for the element of fear from government, people would swallow each other alive. I can easily accept that reforms are needed. But the very notion of abolishing police is worse than foolish.
