    They aren’t, they are pointing out self-organizing groups like this can be made into something good as well as something bad. That’s kind of the whole point of government and regulations, to try to prevent that. Obviously that has failed in most cases, but it doesn’t mean the goal itself is pointless.

    Here’s a more recent example. These groups can often end up exploiting the things they claim to protect. That’s just humans being human.

      Please don’t assign the kindest possible interpretation to his words. It’s pretty obvious what he meant to do.

          He got ratiod by redditors but he’s not wrong

          Community organization is objectively better than our current approach to police which is to act as an occupying military force.

            Police is community (government) organized.

            The only difference is size.

              Yes, it’s better for police to actually be accountable to their neighbors than a top down fedual structure of law enforcement.
