To be fair, the big reason for being against the cops is qualified immunity. Even though not many cases require qualified immunity, the fact that it exists at all is a serious problem. If the police do something wrong, they should be able to be sued in court and let a jury hear both sides of the argument. I don't think all individuals who are police are bad people, but they work for the government have no duty to serve and enforce laws passed down by goons.

Yes totally agree about that. I don’t believe the police in Canada have qualified immunity however it is more difficult to get a conviction against them.

I heard a libertarian viewpoint that seems to make sense to me, and that's that the police would be required to carry liability insurance. So if they were horrible fucking people, then they would get quickly priced out of the market with their insurance rates and have to find another job of where they weren't hurting people.
