        I’d love to live in a world without gangs of armed, bigoted, corrupt psychopaths with extra rights and the ability to murder at will.

            Why would you think such a thing? Haiti is the exact opposite of what just described.

          You do realise you’d trade one group, who have rules they mostly follow, and consequences they occasionally face, for multiple warring groups that have no rules, right?

        Yeah I absolutely would.

        I rather have unarmed security guards protecting neighborhoods.

        I rather have trained armed swat teams when there’s a major assault happening.

        I rather have professional detectives doing investigations.

        I rather have expert specialists do wellness checks.

        Right now, those four are under the police force, and they solve everything with a gun. Police as a whole is a giant blob of unmanaged corruption.
