Yes, of course.
Now, there are many people in the world, and a certain percentage of Fluther, who feel that all police are worthless, brutal, and horrible. Certainly that’s their right to feel that way.
But any society needs rules, and by extension, needs a mechanism to enforce the rules.
This goes back thousands and thousands of years – the ancient Greeks and Romans (and Hebrews) had the equivalent of police back then.
Society without rules in anarchy. I can’t believe that the people who say “no police” really mean that.
[I am in favor of better trained police, to be sure. But no police at all? – ridiculous.
