Police are important too, no one really wants to live in a society where no laws are enforced, but I would agree that the source of violence really ultimately gets back to inequality and lack of democratic representation in representing the interests of those who have no power in the existing system.
Obviously that would start with getting money out of politics. People with opportunities and possibilities typically don’t join gangs or kill thousands of people when they have stability in it’s place. Most people want that, but can’t due to a lack of representation in our government.
One of the main problems with police is the militarization of the police force and lack of accountability. Plus, many of the responses Police are called for could be taken care of much better by social workers instead
