The police don't actually do most of the jobs they claim to, and those that they do would be better done by other bodies. e.g. reduction in most crimes is due to social & economic factors, not crude enforcement. But what we do know is that the worst people can and will become officers in order to abuse the powers.
Abolishing the police causes crime rates to skyrocket, and no one feels safe in the case that they are attacked.

Police are a vital part of the community and though some are bad they are a required part to keep us safe
@9FFTKL31yr1Y
We need the police to maintain some kind of order on society. They should be armed and given more powers
@9FCHQFF1yr1Y
The police are there to protect us and most people get themselves into more trouble because of their hatred to police

We need the police in order to keep the streets safe and as long as the police are fully vetted and trained they should be able to carry weapons wqual to that of the military, with adequate mental health checks and support

The police need to have all necessary resources to guarantee safety for the Citizens of the United Kingdom, without a well funded police force, criminals can keep on committing crimes.

If the police were not militarized they would lack authority and not be able to enforce the law as well on immediate issues.
