Green baroness regards men as intolerable danger to women after male police officer is suspected of abduction-murder. Calls for 6 pm curfew.
The menace of the British ‘gun cop’ — the murder suspect was an active duty policeman authorized to carry firearms — creates a problem for societies that expect the state to protect them. Now they realize the state consists of human beings.
Left wing safetyism will inevitably collide with stateism. Since human institutions are always hotbeds of abuse and corruption the progressives will have nowhere to turn for ‘safety’ but AI and autonomous surveillance.
The process is the culmination of decades of agitation. First the demand that all power be transferred from the individual to the state. Second the demand the state make them safe. Third the belated discovery of ‘gun cops’.
