Are you seriously suggesting that eliminating law enforcement would reduce the number of murders in Milwaukee?
If so, I'm interested to hear your theory on how that works.
I'm not following the logic on how cops create crime, which is what you guys seem to be arguing. Cops react to reported crimes and document them. They investigate criminals and refer them to prosecutors. That's it. They're not out there drumming up false charges against non-whites. In a City like Milwaukee, reporting property crimes is barely worth the effort because you have absolutely no hope of seeing resolution. Cops are buried with more important calls and frankly couldn't care less that someone smashed your garage windows and stole your lawn mower or whatever. Those types criminals aren't even sought, much less caught and charged with anything.
Milwaukee Public Schools has a massive problem with student behavior. The discipline rates were through the roof and pressure was placed on the district to reduce suspensions and other negative outcomes. So they did. They stopped issuing suspensions. The underlying behavior hasn't changed. Classrooms are still a disaster, and in many cases even moreso because the worst offenders aren't being suspended any more. But hey, stats on discipline are down, so great success!
That seems to be what you want to do with the police force.
Be mad that there appeared to be an unjust shooting by police, fine. But those cops aren't just picking people at random off the street. They were there for a reason in the first place.
