When I think of cops my mind goes to bombing babies in their bedrooms, shooting the dog, burning down the house, and planting drugs on the corpse. That’s not great imo.
When I think of “mob rule” or community policing if you want to frame it with less sinister words, I think of people stepping up to defend their community
I’m sorry to hear you live in such a shitty local community. Where I am most people are extremely friendly, supportive, and welcoming but I do live in a lower economic area so that generally helps ground people I find.
Unfortunately building people up to being decent people is a different and more challenging task. We need to be looking at education reform and empowerment for people to become aware and responsible members of a society rather than individuals who rely on the state to do it all for them.

Sounds like the mob thing can be good or bad depending on the mob in question. Which imo makes it same as police in that respect
The core difference being you are part of the mob, you are not part of the police.
I don’t know if that helps if the other people in the mob are shit and want to do shitty things tbh.

I’m not talking from just my personal experience, that’d be a bit short-sighted.
Oh well you should. You are only human, work on a human scale and improve your locale.
That makes sense if you are only advocating for it for your specific community. I thought this was a larger change tbh.
It is for everywhere. It is up to every community to improve themselves.
Each small commune works to improve itself and co-operate with its neighbours as a greater whole.
