"a small specialised class of public servants whose job it is to respond to violent crimes." code for vigilantes. going back to the 1800's wild west on steroids isn't an answer. The exact opposite. Code for state or federal officers who are used when and where needed, because I can assure you that the cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar don't both need fully armed riot police. solana beach-population 13,000 median income 104,000 poverty rate 5% median property value $1 million del mar population 4,000 median income $122,500 median property value $2 million i would hope not. small and ritzy places.

nobody " likes" the police. not the left, not the right. not the rich, not the poor. we want to do what we want to do with no consequences. a spoiled rich, full of themselves person from Del Mar, CA will say "do you know who i am" if a cop gives them a speeding ticket and will try to get the cop fired for being uppity.
a hick tearing up the local saloon in Bent Dick, AZ will try to take a cops head off if the cop tries to arrest him.
only difference is the right realizes police are necessary, while the left doesn't.

the rich don't live in the cities, they, like me live where there is a sheriff, they are not effected by losing police

Come on, there's life in those withered ovaries. It's not too late to have a litter.. It’s other people’s children which are horrid.

Kamala Harris, calling for $150-million LAPD defunding, also used LAPD as her private security detail"A Los Angeles city councilwoman was exposed as a hypocrite for introducing a bill to cut $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department budget, while maintaining an LAPD private detail at her home for herself." "Guess who else is just as hypocritical." "Sure enough, Kamala Harris, Democratic vice presidential frontrunner, who's loudly endorsed these $150-million police defundings, supporting the idea, along with her political ally, Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was last seen calling the LAPD "killers." "Like Martinez, she also helped herself to some LAPD police resources for private purposes. She did the same thing as Martinez, except on a more sprawling scale.

You do know that it's less than 10% of the LAPD's budget? That over 50% of LA city's discretionary spending went to policing?
Are you suggesting that anyone who ever suggests cutting a police budget at all, by a single cent, is a raging hypocrite if they benefit from policing?

Say It Ain’t So, Horatio!"The mania currently sweeping much of the Western world apparently knows no limits. In the U.K., Black Lives Matter activists are trying to tear down statues of famous Britons, including Robert Peel. Why Robert Peel? Because he is “seen as the father of modern policing,” having founded London’s metropolitan police department. Which, of course, was famously unarmed."

Plus as the author acknowledges Nelson’s column is secure so it’s a lot of fuss over nothing.
