I guess "eventually" makes this so vague that it has no meaning. If one day humans live in a utopia they will not need police or prisons.

Hilarious.
Right now BLM has a lot of public sympathy and public support, but if this is really what they want, then their radical anarchosocialist agenda is showing, and they will lose public support so rapidly it'll be breathtaking.
Can you imagine a city without a police force? Nature abhors a vacuum, and organized gangs would fill the gap rapidly, charging the poor protection money to keep their neighbourhoods safe, while the white suburban enclaves will go the slightly more civilized route of "private security firms" for their own protection. Without prisons, what would you do with violent offenders? I am no fan of institutionalization for harmless offenders, but let's get real here.
Who are these people???
