“If we accept that police forces arose at a particular point in history, to address specific social conditions, then it follows that social change could also eliminate the institution. The first half of this syllogism is readily admitted, the second half is heresy.”

This is my principal recommendation, then: we must recognize the possibility of a world without police.”
