I'm sorry, is this post implying the solution to crime is paying repeat offenders a salary to not do it again?
This post is implying that OP is unfamiliar with sociology, psychology, history, and the texture of grass.
... no
...No.
Go on.
Well, I mean we currently give them a badge and a gun and pay repeat offenders to repeatedly offend.
no. it isn't. it's implying that our police don't keep our communities safe and our prisons aren't adequate deterrents or rehabilitation centers. a better solution to community safety would be a society that doesn't enforce poverty. within that framework we need the imagination to find community oriented solutions to investigating and punishing people who encroach on the safety, liberty, and autonomy of others.
