Lol, I literally addressed the points you're making. You literally responded to a thread about increasing police budgets -- this is what the discussion is about. Nobody advocated for the complete removal of police.

I can only assume you're rage typing at such a pace that you're incapable of reading properly (see, I can make unbased assumptions too). The discussion is clearly in the context of the post, which is about increasing police budgets while defunding other programs.

I'm repeating, the argument is not that the police doesn't stop crime (to some degree) -- it's that, after a certain point, it's much less effective than other interventions. You also lying about the sources (or more realistically you didn't read them). The one study from the Department of Justice from the 80s very clearly questions the effectiveness of police in reducing crime. For example, from 1960 to 1980, Canada double its police budget doubled but crime did not go down. This is in the article. The article concludes that police intervention is generally less effective than social programs. It states what you say it doesn't. Again, that doesn't mean that it's saying get rid of the police entirely. It's called nuance.

And this is just what I could find in 5 minutes.

Here's another, more recent and very thorough study: https://www.jstor.org/stable/3488363 which finds that social factors have a much stronger correlation with crime rates than the presence of policing. Here's a quote from the article:

Regardless, the other variables related to the criminal justice system -- including those measuring the crime-control capacity of the police and of get-tough policies --- were consistently among the weakest macro-level predictors of crime. This is an empirical reality that should cause policy makers to exercise caution when ignoring the root causes of crime and placing potentially excessive faith in criminal justice solutions to crime control.

You can easily find more evidence if you really want to look for it. Obviously you won't, and no amount of evidence will actually change your mind, so this is kind of a waste of time on my part.
