If police getting de-funded becomes common enough I feel like starting a local security contracting company would be profitable, and cool. You'd be a respected member of society by providing safety and you'd get paid well, also doesn't hurt to say you run a mercenary organization. Any of you baws down to start one?

Correction: you'd be respected by people who aren't shitbags.

The police are going Blackwater. The rich will be protected, the poor will suffer. Nothing will change.

Sounds like Snow Crash where the Burbclaves are patrolled by various private police.

It’s going to devolve into vigilantism, that’s what’s going to happen. This is the absolute most irresponsible act I can even imagine from a supposed civilized society. We are simply going to revert back to when many of these states were territories and bands of outlaws ruled things. This is going to be an experiment gone really wrong.

If the police is defunded then taxes should be lowered. The cost of everything will be increased if companies need to hire private security.

They're never going to lower taxes, you have to stop paying if that's the avenue you are seeking.

Just another fact of life some jackasses won't understand. Because without police this will happen much more than it already does.

I love these threads. Always full of toughs who beg other men to make the first move.

At least there would be little to no police to arrest me.

What’s your qualifications for opening a mercenary organization? Sounding cool is not going to get my money.

I can promise you that's exactly who the Hollywood elites will be hiring if things get bad.

You know- the same people currently making woke videos talking down to you about how sorry you should be.

It’ll be just like the medieval times where rich families had their own protection/security.

This is “progress” though

Honestly how much do the police really “protect and serve” the civilian population overall? I have never nor will ever count on the police to protect me, have always believed that you have to protect yourself. Largely because even well intentioned police can’t be everywhere at once and the likelihood of them actually preventing you from being the victim of a crime is slim and almost impossible. Also a lot of the time it seems like the police are just out bothering law abiding citizens over petty things while 50 percent of murders go unsolved. And the chances of the police recovering stolen property or something for you is also slim to none.
