RE: Minneapolis City Council is Disbanding the Police Department, Time for Self-Defense

This sounds revolutionary. I wonder too what the alternative form of social security will look like? Right to bear your own arms and police yourself one individual at a time, with no support from any law enforcement sounds scary and leaves one feeling vulnerable, but here in South Africa our police also fail miserably to protect the people, especially those minorities, like us whites in a black land.

That being said, when I had an armed intruder enter my bedroom one early pre-dawn morning in the pitch dark and try to rob me at knife point, I had to fight him off bare handed and get stabbed in the process of chasing him out, But he returned a few minutes later and smashed in again. It was then that I HAD to have support and so called the cops who came and caught him. If we could carry arms here as easily as there it might help. The ideal is laudable but could get messy in the process of transformation. An armed militia or community patrol of volunteers is what we use here in some suburbs since the cops are not reliable sometimes. Private security firms are also very popular here.

In this alternative, do people live on islands alone? Are there not other people around you? A community should have people uniting to stand for morality against immorality.

Thanks for your kind response @krnel, I regularly read your posts, always something informative. Yes you are correct, small neighborhood watch patrols and teams here enable self-policing, staying in touch on whatsapp messenger app.
