...in which case you don't have buddy raping the girl in the back alley anyways.
I mean sure, if everyone in the community would look out for each other and we didn't need cops, that would be great. No one really likes cops, fair enough. But this sounds -pretty- utopian and we are clearly not there yet, so i think it's pretty fair to take exception to willypilgram calling people cowards for not being able to stand up to crimes that matter. Especially when he brings class into it ("Police are the ruthless, unchecked tool of the ruling class")- while i don't necessarily disagree that cops are pretty friendly to the uperclass and not to the lower class- if there weren't cops, then the rich would simply own bigger guns and get the same preferential treatment.
