so the problem with police is how they are selected/rewarded, not their existence?

i love this question. so if the point of a thing is what it does, and what the system of policing does is select bad cops, we have to abolish the system and implement a new system that prevents a new just as bad system from arising. so in answer to your question, it's not an either or problem, but an intrinsically interlinked problem
