If every question is being removed then maybe the parameters for qualified posts are a bit extreme. Am I right? Is this a question?

That's a big if. You need to qualify it or quantify it at least.

No fr so far every post I've made here has been removed. I gave up posting and now just reply and hope I can answer before those posts get removed. I know there needs to be moderation but I also think it's ridiculous to remove every post that gets even a little controversial.

were you the one that asked the policing question? I was sad I didn't get to respond. The mods here can be way up their own asses

Yeah I just feel bad cause he seemed like a teenager who’s just being a troll but censoring him like that isn’t gonna fix the problem plus I was genuinely curious what people had to say

Yeah I feel the same way, I had a response that I put a lot of thought into ready to go, only to find that the post was locked. This post will probably be locked soon as well.

I basically was saying this: Not no police whatsoever, just a demilitarized police that serves the people rather than capital and power.

I lost mine to the clipboard void. :( The gist was that the movement was to reform law enforcement, not end it altogether.

This was mine : I am more define than abolish. I think there still needs to be some police for crimes but it should be shrunk down and a lot of responsibilities the police currently have jurisdiction in should be divided out to other departments who can specialize. If I call to do a wellness check should some armed guys show up or should it be some social workers/ mental health experts? I think a big issue with American culture right now is we are constantly looking for a one size fits all solution when expertise and specificity should be implemented. This also leads to a lot of police officers not following the law correctly because we are expecting them to know every law in existence while working. If we had people who just handled traffic all they would need to know are laws pertaining to traffic. It’s much more reasonable to divide and conquer the responsibilities of a police officer than to put all of those responsibilities on all police officers.

I've responded a dozen times in this sub and then found that the question was deleted just after I submited. It definitely makes me less engaged and less interested in yet another sub with bad moderation.
