Now split up keeping the peace amongst the community and give everyone a small pebble of it and you will never have to worry about a good ol’ boy in blue deciding “justice”.

Yes, because mob justice historically worked great /s

What you need is a highly educated and regulated police. What we currently have is neither.

Cops learn SWAT techniques and interrogation "tricks" ( close to torture). What they should learn is non violent conflict resolution and the law.

Also an impartial cop surveillance agency is sorely missing.
