Lmao you're misusing a frequently misattributed and misquoted statement to avoid actual discussion of a complicated topic you already tried avoiding using sarcasm.

You could have easily replied with an article from NPR that backs up your claim. At least in some ways. But its also more complicated than "less cops, more crime" because obviously it is.

Your original comments seems like a one off joke, but I figured I'd leave the NPR article for you to read if you're interested (or anyone else obv)

you people are exactly like flat earthers and Just Stop Oil protesters, why do I even need to bother considering thinking about proving your stupidity when y'all already been doing it yourselves.

Proving my stupidity? My brother in Christ, I was proving your stupidity. I was doing your job for you troll.

Cops don't prevent or stop crime and are not legally required to.

Through an excellent decades-long PR campaign people think cops do a lot of things they have never done, and are absolutely not required to do.

Basically the only thing cops must do is file a report when a crime is reported. And if you've ever reported a crime you already know that is all they will do.

If cops aren't required to stop crimes then teachers aren't required to educate, medics aren't requires to save lives, firefighters aren't required to put out fires, everyone who has a job aren't required to do what they were paid to do, they can just check in and jerk off from 9 to 5 and no one can do anything about it.

This isn't some syllogism.

There is a court ruling that cops are not required to stop crimes. And it seems highly unlikely you have not heard that before.
