There is a fringe movement that has gained popularity in the last few years, primarily since the horrific 2020 murder of George Floyd by a terrifyingly callous and corrupt police officer, Derek Chauvin.

The movement calls for the abolishment of all police departments and all prison systems in the United States.

The Abolish the Police movement is an unrealistic fantasy promoted by radical idealists with no little or no understanding of public safety, how it is achieved and why it is maintained. Could abolishment of the police and the prison system ever actually work?

Perhaps we should take a realistic look at why this extreme fantasy is being lauded as realistic or even doable, considering the deviant behavior of all human beings and the centuries long savagery that defines human behavior and how human savagery plays into the need for police and prisons in the first place.
