Given the ubiquity with which cops are willing and able to murder people, (“I fear for my life”), and steal from the citizenry (read: asset forfeiture), I am all for less interaction with this criminal gang. If these government gangs are unwilling to do their job, eventually the population will take matters into their own hands. To these cops, I would tell them what they tell us, “if you are doing nothing wrong, what do you have to fear.”

This seems to fall under the category, “be careful what you wish for…”

If the usual gov’t model holds, the paralysis of civil service will encourage the hiring of private contractors, complete with various immunities…should we think Judge Dredd, or the various Central and South American paramilitaries?

Leftist surveillance: selectively activated against agents of order. This will be very good for the drug gangs, the pimps, the lawyers, and various other social termites.

Since the cops are stealing more (through civil asset forfeiture) than the regular criminals, why would inaction on their part be a bad thing?

Sounds fantastic. If the cop won’t arrest the criminal for stealing, they also won’t arrest me when I shoot the bastard and pry my goods back from his corpse.

Oh wait, that’s not how anarcho-tyranny works. I bet, despite me recording everything from three angles, he would still arrest me.

Hahahaha oh man.

So the problem is… (wipes eyes)… that cops won’t do anything…

This is why there are doughnut shops.
