Ah yes, all criminals will magically disappear into thin air when there are fewer people who prevent them from doing something illegal.
That's not an argument, that's avoidance.

Please refrain from calling people stupid
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.
