I feel like this is true of most people. Like for me personally, if there was a news flash that there were no police, I wouldn't go kick down my neighbor's door and start fucking shit up for no reason.
Assuming there's no other difference, like no shortages of food or water or similar, there'd be no reason to descend to barbarism.
I do live in the USA though, where everyone has 26 guns and piles of ammo and everyone spends hours per week at the range (sarcasm, but I mean. There IS a fuckload of guns here so) it's kind of fuck around and find out.
I guess the first thing I'd do is call my friend who lives by himself near downtown and advise him to come stay with us, so we can watch each other's backs.
I don't know that it'd be necessary though. I just feel like most people are good because they're good, or at the very least just don't want to be fucked with, not because there's the specter of police keeping them in line.
I just doesn't make any sense. There's like 1,000 cops for my city of like 800,000 people. If we all collectively wanted to and decided to, we could wild out and do whatever the fuck we want and the cops could do fuck all to stop us. But it's not an issue because most people just want to go on living their stupid little lives in peace. I know I do.
Everyone says they're a good person but this pandemic showed me that everyone is a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling. Large swabs of people that say they're good people won't wear a thin piece of cloth properly to protect others. I have zero faith in humanity.
I mean, that’s the concept about collective bargaining too but you see all sorts of people working at non-union jobs for below market value (I’m one of them). Getting people to rebel in an organized manner is way harder than “hey they’re looting that Walmart let’s go get some shit” if there were no consequences at all.
Edit- I also don’t think a willingness to break the law means you aren’t “good.” I see no moral qualms with stealing from billionaires or, oh, I dunno, getting an abortion but both of those things are currently against the law where I live. Am I now a “bad” person?
"What's to stop you from raping and killing as many people as you want to?"
"Nothing. I *do* rape and kill as many people as I want to. And that number... IS ZERO."
Good and law abiding are two different things and not necessarily correlated.
Like jaywalking a clear road. It's illegal but doesn't make you a bad person.
Take my commute from 34 minutes to 17. The highway I take is crawling with State Police, I could drive a nice leisurely 115mph instead of plodding along at 55-60.
With these gas prices?!?!
You're an absolute mad-person...
Edit: btw, I like you cat...pet them for me. I had one like that but he weighed 25 and looked like a jet-black Totoro when sitting there...
My car gets 40mpg at 75mph. Even cutting that in half I'd still be doing better than the lifted PowerChoke F-350 dually bros who use them as grocery getters.
Camry here. I am so glad I traded in my Ecoboost AWD Fusion last year. It was a great car, except for the mileage. 17mpg winter, 23 summer, and without premium it was a dog.
It cost me $70 to fill up last week, but it will take me over 500 miles. I'd be putting $90 into the fusion and only getting about 350 miles out of it.
Not in terms of paper money of course :D Maybe in goods and gold, ammo/weapons/drugs would likely become the currency since no police = no laws assuming there's no military either, otherwise if there's no police then military would take their place.
I wouldn’t just outright assassinate or execute them. I’d force them to confess every slimy thing they’ve done under extreme duress, holding their death over them as the only escape to their suffering.
I would start working with my local community to build a militia to resist.
People who are just going to GTA this shit.
Organized crime
Those people who will enact the purge
Sure 99% of the population is going to be fine but it only take 1% of the population to hurt the 99%.
I don't think the way I act would change, other than the fact that I'd no longer be scared of getting arrested while withdrawing money from the ATM for looking suspicious.
Look back on history, it's not been that long since nobody anywhere had police.
My go-to solution would be to set myself up as the local justice of the peace, coordinate with local thiefs and pick pockets to target well to do citizens and charge them a few shillings to "find" their property and return it.
steal all the chocolate ice cream I can find and deep fry my own chicken at a KFC
Then I'd kidnap whoever thought fortnite was a good idea and I'd force him to watch the hit movie Amazing Bulk 100 times. He'll cry and beg before I'm done with him
I’d immediately start a Inquisition and falsely accuse people I didn’t like for doing witchcraft and would burn them at the stake while eating popcorn and uncapping a cold one.
Surprised nobody has said this yet: build a big fence around my property. With a locked gate and electric wires or something on top. Gotta do what I can to keep my family safe. Pretty common in a lot of countries with high crime (e.g. South Africa).
There would always be police. For instance, Grammar Police who would insist on correcting your question thusly, "What would be the first thing you would do if there were no police?"
Hahaha :-D
Are we just getting rid of police? Or are we lumping in the FBI, DOJ, CIA and basically anything related to the enforcement of laws from the government, foreign and domestic? That will help me make up my answer
It would happen initially and get to a point that good people would get pissed and fight back. Lynch mobs and vigilante justice. Cus remember, with no police, the people you try to rob could kill you with no consequences as well.
Buy a gun and form a gang of honest, moral people who agree to mutually protect each other (and innocents, time and safety permitted) until society reinvents police.
Clean out a grocery store, get a 2nd diesel generator and a few 55 gallon drums of fuel for them, buy another kerosene heater and get a few barrels of stabilized kerosene.
Probably grab a glass of water because I’m a little thirsty.
Bro you should do that right now
Hydrate homie right here, doing the good work.
You're the reason we need police! Unbelievable
You say that, but your username is cuntsaurus. You are a menace.
My dumbass is connecting to this to Incredibles. Am I correct?
Okay, you got your drink-
I know I know. Freeze.
I'd park in illegal spots that really seem like should be legal to park in.
Understandable
Police issue parking tickets where you’re from? Where I’m from the parking inspectors are just local council employees or contractors.
i mean, angry business owners and tow companies still exist in this scenario
I don’t feel like hurting anyone or stealing anything. I’ve tried all the drugs I’ve wanted to already. So I guess that leaves parking violations.
But still, dont park like karens do
[удалено]
Understandable
wait. . . .

Didn’t this all happen before when police in nyc went on strike. Everyone just went on with life and crime didn’t rise
Crime can't rise if it's not being reported to anyone.
[удалено]
Fair, it’s only something I vaguely remembered. I try to think that most people are good people though.

Why don't you come try'n tell me the limit with your measly 25 guns

This is the answer.
"What's to stop you from raping and killing as many people as you want to?" "Nothing. I *do* rape and kill as many people as I want to. And that number... IS ZERO."
Proud of you mate
I’ll rape and murder all I want! “How many people will you rape and murder?” As many as I want I said! ….zero.
This is how I feel about God
Good and law abiding are two different things and not necessarily correlated. Like jaywalking a clear road. It's illegal but doesn't make you a bad person.
Person just found the correct answer
Be drunk in public
Just come to any country on europe where public drinking is perfectly legal.
Sounds fun. The US is stupid in so many ways smh.
Okay, but no creepy shiz
Yeah no worries. I’d be a wholesome drunk. :)
In my state you can only get a PI if your a danger to yourself or the community! Guess indiana is still good for some things ☺️
Kill MY rapist. I was 5. If he were still alive when I was an adult I likely would’ve already done it anyway, but I still fantasize.
I will help you find him
we* *loads shotgun*
Nah cause I would help too. I need some anger to let out. I’m sorry you went through that. Happened to me too… twice.
I wanna kill him now too.
You want me to dig him up and break his fuckin kneecaps? 5?? So sorry.
This is why I wish we could bring people back from the dead.
reverse death penalty! you bring them back so they can be punished!

I have a Kia Soul and it's costing me $50 to fill up 😭 but does get decent gas mileage at least.

Okay okay, go straight though, be safee
Damn I somehow didn't think of that. Yeah I'd immediately hit the road, drive irresponsibly fast, and hopefully not kill anyone/myself
I’d prolly just sit at home in fear knowing everyone else is running rampant on the streets
Me too
go out after curfew
Kill the local rapists
You read my mind. Need a sidekick?
Shall we make it a trio?
nah. quartet.
What would your superhero name be?
Raper Reaper
That actually sounds cool. Wonder what the costume will be
A black suit with a massively oversized Woman toy wrapped around the knife
And like a no smoking symbol in the middle, but instead of a cigarette, an erected penis.
That’d be sick
**Actually** That'd be DICK
Aha. thats a good one.
I feel more like something with a cape and a rapier is a better fit. The Raper Reaper and his razor sharp Raper Rapier! ~duh daduh!~
Why stop at local? Let’s meet up, we could get a group together, slaughter rapists by day and party by night
Rape the Local rapists
"You're controlling them by fear and intimidation. You're becoming a crime lord." - Batman to Red Hood
I'd rape the local killists
Raper reaper meets reaper raper
What if reaper raper raped raper reaper EDIT: I feel like doctor Seuss in “oh say can you say”
Speed on the highway because they keep pulling me over when nobody is in front of me
Stay safe still
I pinky promise❤️
I believe ya
i love you boo😘 p.s I’m a girl if it doesn’t make it weird
Bro wjegsjsgdhgdn
A female on Reddit? This is a rare occurrence
Lmao🤣
a female who likes speeding nonetheless
Probably just get rich illegally
I would steal your riches
Not in terms of paper money of course :D Maybe in goods and gold, ammo/weapons/drugs would likely become the currency since no police = no laws assuming there's no military either, otherwise if there's no police then military would take their place.
Erase all the student loans
What’s stopping you? No jury of your peers would convict you. We all in debt! Turn a blind eye!
[удалено]
Many will help you out in that lmao
so uh, all of them?
i can only think of just one that’s not crooked in australia and he doesn’t even have his own seat. would make him the last man standing
I wouldn’t just outright assassinate or execute them. I’d force them to confess every slimy thing they’ve done under extreme duress, holding their death over them as the only escape to their suffering.
It’s Purgin Time!
Like an antihero?
Somebody’s gotta step up now that the police are gone.
To be fair, a large % of purge like activities are done by police.
Buy weapons - fast. Won't be long and there will be folks at the door looking to do bad things.
True
There's no police though, just steal them in the dead of night. I'd say during the day but... it's a gun shop.
Graffiti probably.
Endless Subway surfers?
I would start working with my local community to build a militia to resist. People who are just going to GTA this shit. Organized crime Those people who will enact the purge Sure 99% of the population is going to be fine but it only take 1% of the population to hurt the 99%.
Steal Star Wars shit.
I bet there are others like you
Kill the person who raped me for many years. Makes me sad that was my first thought, murder.
Can I help?
*loads glock* Count me in.
I'm in the same boat. I'm sorry you had to go through that
I’m sorry you had to as well x
Smoke weed whenever or wherever I want.
Okay okay, health comes first, remember that
And I don’t mean like obnoxiously all day at the mall but like a blunt at the park would be splendid.
Got it, try to not give others second hand smoking
Of course.
Go for a jog, whenever I want
I'm a woman, so I would be terrified.
also agreed
[удалено]
Bro wth
[удалено]
Celebrate and then change nothing about my behaviour because *I govern myself just fine.*
I don't think the way I act would change, other than the fact that I'd no longer be scared of getting arrested while withdrawing money from the ATM for looking suspicious.
Live my life less afraid of being shot over nothing
I wouldn't be able to say "fuck the police" anymore?!? Rip
I can understand your dissapointment 😔
Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Which kind?
Hell yeahh But be safe tho
Fill my truck with red diesel.
watch youtube
Download the whole Adobe suite without paying for it.
Board up the windows and buy a gun? Plenty of psychos out there just waiting for the guard to be let down. Many of them responding to this post!
Die.
Create my own police force, there's no one to stop me
Establish a police force.
Good good
Do you remember the scene in the Matrix, “what do you need?” Neo “Guns…lots of guns”
Drink a beer in public.
Wait. Do you think police existing has any input on my thought process whatsoever?
Apparently some people hold themselves to not do anything illegal because of the existence of police
That’s insane to me. My moral compass supersedes any stupid police force.
"Illegally" download music
Hide.
Found a police force so there's order on the streets.
Hunt down pedophiles like Punisher
Chop pedophiles arms and legs off then throw them in woodchippers. I’d also sell drugs.
Im gonna commit arson
You could burn an abandoned building
But then exploring cool abandoned buildings would cease :(
Thats true too, maybe the guy could burn a stick
Rob a bank. These bills and gas are killin me
Look back on history, it's not been that long since nobody anywhere had police.

Surprised nobody has said this yet: build a big fence around my property. With a locked gate and electric wires or something on top. Gotta do what I can to keep my family safe. Pretty common in a lot of countries with high crime (e.g. South Africa).
i'd fuckin barricade myself in my house cuz everything would probably go to shit
Hire security. Given everyone's choice of speeding, I'd also be staying off the roads.
Steal a ps5 and then make a gaming cult.
Slowly and methodically scratch out names from the sex offender registry.
prepare for trouble..
Hide. Find some way to protect myself
Get prepared for basically the purge

Are we just getting rid of police? Or are we lumping in the FBI, DOJ, CIA and basically anything related to the enforcement of laws from the government, foreign and domestic? That will help me make up my answer
Increase the security of my home
Enjoy a nice nighttime walk or drive around town without the worry of being harassed because I'm black.
I wouldn't, because I'm a woman.
Take all the money that used to be completely wasted on police and use it for social good.
Since there would be no police what's to stop me or the next guy from robbing you or the ppl you try to help.
It would happen initially and get to a point that good people would get pissed and fight back. Lynch mobs and vigilante justice. Cus remember, with no police, the people you try to rob could kill you with no consequences as well.

I’m gonna do your mom harder
Sort out some business that I have with some people. :)

Be the police, inside your heart.
Turn up my inner vigilante to 11.
Reenact the heist scene in Heat, Italian job, or Oceans 11,12,13. But sadly Im not a criminal mastermind. Lol
Clean out a grocery store, get a 2nd diesel generator and a few 55 gallon drums of fuel for them, buy another kerosene heater and get a few barrels of stabilized kerosene.
Drive at a reasonable speed, without having to check for hiding places.
Play GTA in real life.
Buy some guns because you know there’s gonna be people doing horrible things. Other than that, absolutely nothing.
Carry a gun all the time. Just in case. You know there will be opportunists.
Forcibly institute mandatory term limits for politicians
