As far as ‘no police’...fine I hope all the police quit, let the ‘brain thinkers’ can help you
***********************************************************************************
Just to remind people you run into who demand this and who obviously either have no memory of history or are ignoring it:
1.Ernst Rohm, head of the Nazi Brown Shirts was also a fanatic who demanded that Police and Armed Forces should be abolished.
He finally became such a thorn in Hitler’s side that the SS killed the leaders of the SA in what became known as the night of the long knives-(IIRC from what I read about it).
2. IIRC, after the Civil War, there was a period of absolute lawlessness-at least in SW Missouri where I grew up. This area was very hard hit by both the Southern and Union Armies seeking to restock for one thing. Then along came the marauders.
(Mo. had 2 governments during that time-the elected one sympathetic to the South, which fled Jefferson City and went to SW Mo. and one declared fealty to the Union and occupied Jeff. City). But I digress.
Anyway, as often happens, Vigilante Justice ensued-started by a former Military man in Taney County, who helped Church leaders establish a chapter in Christian County. It did not end well.
3. Black Panthers decided to help patrol the black neighborhoods, during the time of Malcom X. Well there was some rivalry between various groups, including the Nation of Islam, whose leader is alleged to have ordered the assassination of MX. Didn’t end well.
4. And then we have situations when Sharia Law takes over—which those from Minnedisuh might want to review.
These people screaming to eliminate the POLICE are not only sick/crazy, they are stupid. If nothing else, they are just begging for “Rules for Radicals” type ridicule and the name NAZI thrown their way for advocating the same thing as the fanatic Ernst Rohm.
RANT OVER - Sorry if I have offended anyone-unless you be liberal. If you be liberal, take a quarter and call someone who cares about your hurt virtue signaling idiocracy.
Great post and #1 was recalled correctly.

I wanted to add another point to your excellent post.
5. China. They have a non-police force to keep people in line. A “citizen force”. I believe this is what the liberals were working toward. It’s basically a system of snitches who report on any infractions by their neighbors. They also had (still have?) some sort of app with a system of “social credits”.
We see the beginnings of this with FB (follows, likes) and Twitter (follows, RTs). Next step, covid-19 trackers and snitches.
Fewer police are needed when the public is shamed, frightened, or coerced into conformity by the constant presence of Big Brother.
