everyone's dunking on this Tweet and she deserves it but she is approaching a fundamental truth: police only exist because certain sections of the population are unable to police themselves https://twitter.com/BreeNewsome/status/1384725341550305281
police presence in rural areas is still largely nonexistent because rural Americans police their own behavior in informal ways

e.g. if a guy gets drunk and h*ts his wife, the police, instead of arresting him, will drop him off at his pastor's house to get shamed straight
of course, these informal means of self-policing rely on strong community bonds, strong families, strong churches, all of which modern society has done their best to destroy, hence the need for external policing to keep the population from going full LEVIATHAN
