Chaz is a good example of why it's bad to say "abolish the police force" if that's not actually what you mean. Also why it's a bad idea to not have solid goals because those people who set up that perimeter... may peacefully let the district reopen to the wider community and government after someone resigns (the mayor, some are calling for) or some major change is implemented in the police force... but they also might not.
And unlike that militia group that took some unoccupied government buildings that's in the middle of a city. A very big city.
I mean it's okay right now but... all depends on how long this goes on and who all gets involved and what the people there intend to do with the place. Right now it seems like they're just hanging out.
Lack of a plan in the hands of undisciplined people always concerns me.
The bright side is all the recent examples I can think of just resulted in a lot of nothing except maybe some media coverage making fun of the people...
E: I should say conflicting goals. Some demand the total abolishment of police and some just want a place to protest without police harassment. If everyone gets on board with the latter and probably at least some restructuring then I think it could be quite nice.
If not... again just depends.

"Raz of CHAZ" Seems like a fair, level headed leader, idk...probably fit right in on a police force somewhere.

Hey man don't hate. People have been fighting (other innocent and powerless people) for my freedom for 250 years.

No hate, definitely some sarcasm though.
Its strange how we can put so much energy into opposing something, that we begin to embody the very thing(s) we are opposing. It happens all the time. Its like some kind of cosmic lesson reminding you to look in the mirror occasionally, maybe even clean it if you have to.

They have cameras for that. The only job left is beating up people.

"All white people must pay black people in CHAZ $10
If you have difficulty with that, how will you later feel about redistributing land and wealth and power?"

Did I notice the cheering to be somewhat muted?
Its all fun and games until you gotta pay up
