Why Are Socialists Pushing for More Cops?

The argument is that if the US was like Sweden, then there would be 500,000 more cops but somehow also less one, also 1.9 million less prisoners. They are literally arguing that being in a place with crime is basically the same as being in prison. I hope these people get to do ethnography of this one day. Like, I, I hope, I hope they get to go study what the inside of a prison is like.
