So I have skimmed through some of the posts here, and I can not figure out what some people want. Is it:
No police or law enforcement? Barney, Mayberry days are not coming back. If you ever talk to really old timers they will tell you they went from proactive to reactive decades ago. Gee, I wonder if that anything to do with the great new society the 60s produced.
Sure there are bad cops, there is bad or good in any job field. It's all about attitude and maturity.
Imagine if you will what this country/society would look like with out the thin blue line.
As far as the pay issue goes, that's all relative. Some, I said some required you to live in your county/wherever or a few minutes away. High cost=higher pay.
