Since you took my communism remark way beyond its intention, I’ll return the favor.
If we didnt have state and local government funded police forces, a private entity would have stepped in the provide the service, arguably with less waste than NYS does it. Police protection is a service that people will gladly pay for, and is therefore an opportunity to make a living ($), and would’ve been provided by an entrepreneur.
No I’m not saying that’s a good idea. You guys are going overboard with the capitalism support you’re reading. Instead of reasonable discussion, you’re dropping one liners trying to make the other person look ill-informed.
