Jokes aside, I believe I made some valid points about how security should be provided in an ostensibly free country.
Organized police forces in America - much like all forms of government in America - are bloated in size and scope of operation.
Such a system places a massive tax burden on the populace and represents an existential threat to the lives and liberty of the people.
I realize we're supposed to believe the mythology that "government protects" us, but that was never the original intent of American government.
Such a power is unlimited by dint of its vagueness and subjectivity, and the power to "protect" someone is the power to infantilize them.
People in a free country don't require the government to "protect" them. But that is probably why we are no longer a free country.
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

Hiring morons because of budget issues isn't an excuse for proper training and accountability.
