lol @ the chicken wire... Oh sorry I mean "poultry netting."
also maybe they should call the new police, "citizens on patrol." You could even make an acronym outta that!
Your acronym accidentally became a reference and I must point it out. And no I don't mean the fact that it spells out COP.
The first spanish police force, which started in catalonia back when crossbows were a thing, was called "esquadra de paisanos", literally meaning "squad (or patrol) if citizens" and the cops were called "mozos de escuadra", "buddies on squads (again, or patrol)" this is why catalonian police is now called mossos.
And the reason I must point it out is because I'm fairly sure it will be far from the only police force that started that way... you know because before the formal police ALL police forces were militias (for instance in andaluzia they were the Escopeteros Voluntarios de Andalucia, "volunteer shotgunners of andalucia") made by citizens which realized peacekeeping was necessary and took up arms to establish order on their own... Kinda like... Oh yeah. RAZ.
You'd think they'd know why this happened all over the fucking world time and time again whenever a power vacuum like this was established and why that means abolishing the police is simply a logistical impossibility. YOU'D THINK. But I'm fairly sure anarchists are allergic to BOOKS.
