Would you switch?
Imagine we had private firms provide security rather than police. No firm could do what they did to George Floyd because millions would have switched provider in protest.

@MrMonnyPenny The market is designed to only pursue profit. It doesn't necessarily concern itself with public welfare. That's why private prisons keep people incarcerated over BS. They wouldn't make a profit otherwise

@TinyViolins Private Prisons aren’t part of a holistic free market law and order system. Free market provision of law and order may not even have wide use for prisons. The law may be to pay restitutions for crimes rather than serve a prison sentence.

@MrMonnyPenny Free markets don't exist though. I am a huge fan of restorative justice and for keeping as many people out of prison as is necessary for relatively minor crimes, but I don't see how a private police force can do any better a job of that than a public one that is properly trained
@SStarfish I think a better way of putting it is murders hiding behind a badge.
