This post is not "anti-public-policing" so much as it is anti-police-union - these are some of the few remaining unions on Earth, that still have a few teeth left.

Police unions are no less imaginary than police forces. Doing what your force tells you to do, or what your union tells you to do, is still refusing to take personal responsibility for your own actions.
matt .. you know, I totally get where you're coming from, and believe it or not I agree, but what bothers me about all the high-level, purely philosophical diatribes that we see here on STEEMIT, is that they seem disconnected from real world concerns - just how such a transition would be possible, given the current 'low-quality' of your average human being. I too am a proponent of a stateless future, but I am focused on the transition, not solely on destination.
You see, I fear that future will be forced upon us sooner than we are prepared for it, and the abuses that will follow, the gangsterism, and perhaps even a return to warlord rule, is a very real possibility. So, I get a little emotional when people say it's as easy as 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. but I do understand that such change is not possible without a profound change in individual psychology, from dependence to as you say, taking personal responsibility for all aspects of your life, and that of your immediate family.
Anyway peace bro .. I can see you're a good guy, who believes strongly in what you have been speaking about.
Cheers
Scary things aren't always bad, and bad things aren't always scary.
You have to keep in mind that warlords and roving bandits are part of state folklore. Every dollar it takes and spends, every war, every law, everything the state does it does for one reason; to convince us of our need of it.
