I'm confused. You criticized cops for only showing up after the fact, but now you're saying that showing up before a crime is committed would be disastrous. You can't have it both ways.

Why can't I have it both ways? I think police cannot be useful either way. OK, maybe they would be useful (I am not sure about that) if they caught criminals and put them in rehabilitation centers, but that's not remotely what they are doing nor what somebody here proposed.
