San Francisco activist Darcie Bell experienced a taste of a world without law enforcement when a thief stole a U-Haul filled with her belongings.
It raises the question – in a world where thieves are willing to steal a full moving truck, is having a regulated force of trained officers essential to protect law-abiding citizens?
U-Haul theft is not an act of desperation; it is a crime committed by individuals lacking control over their impulses.
The need for police is universal, not limited to specific locations or circumstances.
Despite her anti-police stance, Bell recognized the importance of law enforcement by filing a police report and expressing frustration when her belongings were not immediately recovered.
While advocating for police defunding, Bell also acknowledged the necessity of living in a city where criminals are deterred from committing such brazen acts.
The connection between lenient policies and rising crime rates is evident in cities like San Francisco.
With a new mayor focused on safety, there is hope for a shift in policies.
However, it remains to be seen if Bell and others will acknowledge the necessity of law enforcement, despite their anti-police beliefs.
