      Well yeah: more cops means more arrests, which means more prisoners, which means more slave labor.

      Remember the 13th Amendment:

      Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

      No sarcasm tag necessary; that’s what conservatives genuinely want.

        If the US wasn’t spending more on its military, than the next 5 nations combined, it would be considered a terror state that belongs to the axis of evil and would be sanctioned into oblivion.

          I think you mean if the US had not become the global capitalist empire after the decline of the British Empire.

          If you asked the majority of people on earth outside of the US it already is seen this way.

      No, the solution is announcing there will be more cops, and then cutting policing budgets
