I’m absolutely not a fan of cops, but if the choice is between a heavily-armed organization that has the possibility to be controlled through the democratic process and proper oversight, or a heavily-armed organization that is absolutely answerable to no one by themselves, I will reiterate the cops’ actual standing as a mechanism of authority every single time.

I was introduced to Guy Maddin in film class at university with the film, Careful, and it’s been downhill from there. Now I have to figure out how to see Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton!

Theoretically, we as citizens have control of the cops.
Practically, the only way to have control over a militia is to get your own militia powerful enough that they acceed to your requests/demands.

I’m in a town where a juvenile runaway is alleged to have shot himself in the head while handcuffed in the backseat of a police cruiser at the station. His mom asked the police to help locate her kid, and they sure found him.
It is good news that things are good in Ann Arbor. Hopefully that goodness makes its way here.

Not how it went with Quadaffi, exactly.
Militiasplaining it like Toni Morrison can be handy if you’re not ready to win with lavender bath memes in one supplex.

I was shocked and disgusted by your use of profanity. There should have been a lot more of it.

Wow! Thank you. I’d not heard of this guy before. I’ll need to chase up his work; it looks right up my Tinpan Alley. “Quickly, boy wonder, to the Internet Fleapit! Adventure awaits!”
