Six law enforcement officers shot in major US cities in less than 48 hours! The Police are the cornerstone of the State (though sometimes, in extreme cases, the Government of the day needs to use the armed forces ) Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police.  Most political reformers have some part of the unfree system they wish to abolish Republicans would abolish the monarchy, Secularists would abolish or disestablish the Church, Socialists would (or used to) wish to abolish the apparatus of exploitation; pacifists would abolish the Army.  Anarchism is unique in wishing to abolish all.
