So abolish police forces and replace them with militia? What’s the difference?
Cherán did this in 2011. The difference is massive. Crime dropped massively, and the community trust their militia. “Right now there is no crime. These days, it doesn’t get worse that a brawl. A bar fight, a street fight.” Their homicide rate is (last I remember) the lowest in their state and among the lowest in the country.
It certainly helps that they didn’t just drive out police, but also political parties, implementing their own direct democracy.
