It also included them getting murdered by the government's representatives assigned to enforce the law. Sound familiar?

Yes there are bad people. Did you read the link? It stated 3-5% of people commit 50% of crimes. Clearly there is a problem with the system when that few people are permitted to commit all those crimes and yet we have all these police take all this money and violating all these rights to not do much.

Well, none of this is actually being voted on.

Considering you've had several truckers come in here and correct you, maybe you should tone down the arrogance? Especially when it's unjustified, as in this case.
Correct me about what? Nothing has happened. Zip. It's all hand wringing speculation at this point. Kind of like the biker nothing burger.

Actually, they will. When the rioting was at its worst, messages were being sent to drivers in a lot of companies that if there was any risk enroute, send a message and reroute and they'll deal with the customer. If the delivery area was anywhere near where riots were actively going on, the trailer would be dropped at a drop yard and delivery rescheduled. So if it gets bad, they will stop delivering to areas where drivers could be killed or loads hijacked.

There are many companies refusing to deliver to places where active rioting is going on. They're making arrangements to drop the load in the closest drop yard, where it will wait until things are safe for their drivers.
In my experience lately, people only call for a vote when they think the vote will go their way, and when it doesn't, all of a sudden they system of the vote was illegitimate or rigged.

What makes you think it will be a warzone simply because they defund the police?
It's easy to destroy something, and far, far harder to actually build something worthwhile to take it's place.
