Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Cops are the least efficient, most useless tax-payer funded job in the country. Statistically speaking, no cops is a better solution. Unsolved violent crime rate would remain the same, but the funds could be reallocated to mental health crisis centers and drug rehabilitation programs to more effectively treat the root of the issue.

Seriously, before you try to defend cops, look at crime statistics across the U.S. Look not just at solved rates, but successful convictions. They're abysmal, worse than any other developed country.
