i'm perfectly aware of that. at what point did i say get rid of police? or that all police are bad? if all of you would actually listen to whats being said and stop being so blinkered this wouldn't even be a debate at this point. i'll try and keep it simple.
1. police are given power to protect the law and citizens rights.
2. SOME police ABUSE this power for personal gain, amusement, sick kicks, harassment, sex, or otherwise. If you are stupid enough to deny this happens just ecause you havent seen it in your neighbourhood, whens the last time you seen a kid starve to death in your street? do you also deny that happens elsewhere?
3 if there is an app to help protect people from being the victim of harrasment or abuse, why deny its usefulness to others because you wont use it? would you ridicule a rape prevention app because you've never been raped? no? well find some sense and move on.
4. if this gets rid of the BAD cops who dont do their jobs and instead victimise the innocent, it will free up jobs for GOOD cops to take over.
