A politician of Ausland: Ausland has the lowest crime rate in the world. No serious crimes and only a few misdemeanors are reported per annum. Therefore, since the country's police force is mostly idle and, moreover, not punishing the few misdemeanors that occur per annum will not much impact the country's law and order situation, whereas the costs of maintaining the police force are considerable, Ausland's police force should be disbanded.

Police officer: The country's exemplary crime rate is the result of the round-the-clock policing done by our force and the strict and swift action we take on each crime.

The police officer responds to the politician's argument by

Aproving that the politician's argument has significantly underestimated the work done by the police force
Bmentioning an additional advantage of maintaining the police force that the politician's argument has failed to consider
Crejecting the politician's argument with the implication that an acceptance of the politician's proposal will undermine Ausland's law and order situation
Dshifting the discussion from the argument at hand to an examination of the causes of Ausland's exemplary crime rate
Edisproving the politician's argument while suggesting that the working conditions of the police force should be improved
