I hope they keep defunding the police. Then we can form Posse Comitatus and rid ourselves of the whole Progressive hive collective:

“The posse comitatus (from the Latin for “power of the county”), in common law, is a group of people mobilized by the conservator of peace – typically a sheriff – to suppress lawlessness or defend the county. The posse comitatus originated in ninth century England simultaneous with the creation of the office of sheriff. Though generally obsolete throughout the world, it remains theoretically, and sometimes practically, part of the United States legal system.”

Posse Comitatus means that, except in emergencies, the state and the Feds can’t use the military to enforce the law.
You’re thinking of Vigilance Committees.
