OP confused philosophers with lawyers, probably.
Was expecting more New Vegas meme content.
The article actually doesn't focus on Musk at all. It was an interesting read, for sure. But the headline was a actually a bit clickbait-y.
Police abolition is not solely promoted by anarchists.
Some tankies claim that Sovjet, GDR, or Chinese police are/were based and still shout "ACAB", because they just dislike liberal capitalism police.
They should be reminded of the first "A".
The critique is a bit too broad to explain simply in a lemmy post.
I can try, but keepin mind that this will not be exhaustive:
The police's job is to reinforce the current power structures and keep the people that currently are in power at the top. That has been their historical purpose, too. Dating back to the 1800s when they violently beat down strikes and workers' protests. They are always "legitimized" by "the rule of law" without adressing how legitimate the law is. Speznaz, Gestapo and the Stasi all "upheld the rule of law", but where highly immoral. The same goes for Frontex.
When the police acts immorally and/or breaks the law, the social structures most likely will prevent repercussions for those police officers. If you get beat up by police, other officers will pretty much always cover for their colleagues.
The image of the police's job being to "protect and serve" is the result of active police propaganda (so-called "Copaganda")
Europeans apparently don't look at police brutality in France, or done by Frontex. /s
