Manhattan Institute(@ManhattanInst):Socialists "want the police to knock on your door and take your house. They do want to take your property. They do want to take your wealth, your income. What they don’t want is to arrest the robbers, the rapists, the killers, because they think that's a legitimate use of violence. That’s why they want to abolish prisons." @DanielDiMartino on why socialists want to abolish the police, with @TGowdySC
