I oppose police violence, not the concept of upholding the lawful order.

Police, as a concept, involves violence. You cannot have police without violence.

Cool, you like the concept of upholding lawful order. How do you expect to implement that concept without violence?

Person A murders person B. It is illegal to murder. So you call the not-police to uphold that law. What is the not-police going to do? Ask A to voluntarily get into the cell and stay in there and learn their lesson?
