There'd be a whole lotta thugs rising up, and becoming dead thugs just as fast. More efficient than today's model of dethugging? Who knows. Don't be a thug. Umn... What about all the unarmed non-thugs? They're going to kill the thugs? Run them out of town on a rail? Former blackwater employees who band up? No-longer employed Cops working with exactly the people they worked with in uniform etc? Are you suggesting that "former blackwater employees" (which are 'ex' US military psychos) are kept in check by...cops? No... Absolutely not. You REALLY expect them to all kill each other off before they decimate the rest of the population? Really? Really REALLY? The hypothetical scenario is not being fully explained. IF all cops dissapeared, then what. The military would take over? That makes no difference from the point of view of the state's subjects, so it's not even interesting as 'thought experiment'. If all 'law enforcement' psychos lost their power? Then the mafia would take over? Again, that would simply be a re-cycling of the state. Problem is they don't "Disappear". They're just abandoned to run amuck marauding. I'd suggest retraining them to do something socially useful like Social worker or something but I'm dreaming... I've actually suggested that to a few face to face that comes the revolution we'll retrain them to do something more useful, and if they don;t want to they can live on welfare... It's ok by me. :> Jajajajajajajjjja! Gasp cough Ak AcK ACk ... choking noises... Rr References 1. mailto:rayzer@riseup.net 2. mailto:rayzer@riseup.net
