Maybe defunding the police is not such a bad idea after all. People could band together to hire private security forces then, and there wouldn’t be any police to snatch away your possessions under civil forfeiture. And if they tried to keep on taxing people at the same rate,as if they were paying police salaries and retirement then just don’t pay the taxes, who is to come and collect?

With private security forces so many problems would evaporate. There wouldn’t be cops standing around watching quietly while BLM beats people up and murders people and sets up roadblocks. Private security forces wouldn’t be under the thumb of corrupt Democrat mayors telling them to stand down, because they’d not be accountable to the mayors and we know the GOP is not, in so many places, going to run a candidate against Dim mayors and Dim city councils. It would remove armed force from the control of these corrupt cities and even small towns, and return power to the people.

Just a thought.

The ‘defund’ the police thing is a joke.

All they’re going to do is rename the police department to something more palatable like “community officers” or whatever.

They will still be the police ... and they will still confiscate innocent people’s property!

I think that’s an interesting idea. I hope some people look into this more, what the pros and cons might be. It seems almost every situation going private works better. I’m not sure how it would work in the really poor areas though.
