we've stopped caring about our human capital and are more concerned with financial capital. privatization of anything concerning rights and laws should be abolished it's our own fault though, we didn't do anything once we learned that cops have revenue quotas.
how can we walk this all back?
When you say "we" the problem is there isn't a universal "we" that thinks alike, that is evidenced by the problems, so the best we can hope for is mutual individual respect when it comes to doing things. That way each person can self govern within the sphere of their own rights.
You have rights as an individual, no greater and no less than other individuals.
Non existent rights which no individual has (obviously), cannot be aggregated by a few people nor by several or thousands of people and somehow create rights which none of the individuals have. It is self evidently and mathematically impossible. A sum of a thousand zeroes is still zero.
So from that, we know, abolishing anything by a group is not the way to go, if none of the individuals within the group have the right to abolish the thing to be abolished.
How to walk it back is a question that should be answered in the context of who has a right to do or not do what is wanted to be walked back. If that isn't true, and you wish to deny the reciprocity of rights, then just grab a gun and kill people that disagree with you and make a legislative decree that hereafter 2+2 = 5.
Cops? The best ones are at the very least ignorant, the worst ones are psychopathic and all of them have taken an oath to enforce laws, even laws which violate other peoples rights. So they've all sworn to violate people. A sad lot.
