Given the outcome of the furgerson trial and other mishaps that are obviously tell-tell signs of the
Corruption in ‘our’ government, I personally do not like the idea of a privatized police force and it should
be an last resort.
For one, our goal is for institutions to become more accountable, not less. Privatizing a
police force not only removes accountability, it erases it all together by placing the responsibility on the
shoulders of some random company whose defense from the necessary ‘who watches the guard’ law
of the government Is the fact that they are funded by the private sector and there for are answerable
to that sector, not the public aka civilians. The civilians, as in us, pay their pensions and salaries (our
leverage over them) as a tradeoff for their protection in theory – if that funding where replaced by an
private sector, how do you think that tradeoff would morally work?
Absolutely.
