No, I’m certain it’s John Travolta from Battlefield Earth.

A police officer is physically not capable of preventing a murder

This doesn’t make sense. They’ve prevented attempted murders. People are convicted of attempted murder and sent to jail by those enforcing the law. They’ve caught murderers and serial killers before they could kill again, and also sent them to jail.

The system isn’t perfect and there are clear bad actors, but the absence of the system would likely be worse for society. If anything, it’s a call to make the system stronger to prevent unnecessary death and imprisonment.

we only have room for infantile absolute positions here on Lemmy

But how will the law be upheld if there is no one enforcing it? Clearly there are communities without the capacity to police themselves.

Hearth death? What this?
