The recidivism rate for homicide is 0.3-3%.
At that point, a community is basically never going to be dealing with irredeemable murderers.
On the rare chance that they do, they should be given the right to decide how to deal with them. My personal vote would be execution, others may prefer exile, etc.
Likewise this person who would totally kill you if there was no police would still have to deal with an armed community defending each other.
When we say abolish the police/prisons, the expectation isn’t that we become pacifists. It’s that we give the power directly to the community.
Just read the links provided instead of repeating this same old tired line.

None of us are free, if one of us is chained!
