Would you want private police forces near you?

[robocop666]

They are only security not police. They also work with private investigators.

Often times the police will not investigate a crime or do a lousy job. Maybe hire private companies when when you get enough evidence go to the police.

I remember when politicians cried about the private military. But when they needed to go into a battle zone, they hired "Black Water."

Remember when AOC wanted to defund the police? She was protected by private security. She didn't want YOU to have any security, but she demanded the best of the best for herself. I met a guy who described in detail what his job was. I asked him if he was BlackWater. He just smiled. He couldn't talk about it. He kind of looked like Clint Eastwood. He was high up in the company, so he could pick his gigs. The younger guys don't get a choice. He said he had zero company benefits. If he was killed, no one even knew he existed. But if he lived, he got $2,000 per day. These guys are adrenaline junkies.

Thanks for the MHO

Private police forces (AKA: Security in the US) are generally tasked with protection of the people or assets their employers pay for. They don’t generally have the resources to investigate crimes nor the ability to file criminal charges, perform proactive policing functions, or compel cooperation with their duties as publicly funded police can.


In theory the police serve society as a whole whole security personnel may (probably) do not.

[robocop666]

they advertise themselves as this. Guess thats the sales pitch then. Only for the wealthy.

[DryGermanGuy]

I don’t need a goon squad. But they can guard the railway station and supermarket entrance for all I care.

[Dargil]

Isn't that what the FBI has become? A private police force for the Democrat party?

With the defend the police movement private security will become more mainstream. I would only contract with an agency that hired armed guards

[Anonymous]

See them around London a lot, plenty are armed as well
My aunt and a couple of my cousins did it for a time albeit unarmed

[Flatmanlewis]

Armed private security, in the UK? That surprises me since even the bulk of their police are unarmed.

[Opinion Owner]

That's why the private ones are armed, working for jewellers with millions on display and the embassy district

[OddBeMe]

No. Right wingers have been selling off govt jobs to private companies since Reagan and thatcher. Hasn’t worked for anything except driving up debt and plummeting civil rights.

[Avicenna]

There's no shortage of government jobs. Your hero Biden and Congress are doing a bang-up job of driving up debt and the Executive Branch is doing a great job of violating people's rights.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna such as? Jan 6ers? Wait til you’re caught.

[Avicenna]

Yes, among others them.

But what are you suggesting I would "be caught for", Odd?

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna I assume you were there. Holding the confederate flag. I knew you had a soft spot for cop beaters.

[Avicenna]

You assume? Are you saying I was there in DC that day doing that?

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna (shrug) you tell me. I’m just profiling.

[robocop666]

these were not sold off. They formed themselves.

[OddBeMe]

What exactly.

[Avicenna]

Odd, I know you and most other leftist only feel comfortable with caricatures. To illustrate why that’s a problem, let’s apply Odd-style „profiling“ to you, Scion of Segregation and Slavery.

-You constantly extol illegals (to the point it’s embarrassing for you), so you must be married to one

-You are a white Southerner who hates Jews, therefore you must support the KKK
-You suffer from mental illness, so you are a danger to Jews and whites because you constantly incite hatred toward them and have said you want to strip white Americans of their US citizenship.
-You have also said that you wanted to enslave Republicans
-You are racist toward blacks because you think they all live packed into ghettos and are all poor (yes, Odd, you’ve said those things). Due to your mental illness. that makes you a threat to them as well.

So let’s come to a conclusion about you based on your own postings here on GAG. What do you think we should profile you as, Scion of Segregation and Slavery?

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna you think I caricature and you call scion blah blah. Irony is thicker than my dick.

YOU don’t care that cops are beaten nearly to death…. and in one instance was murdered by YOUR people.

[Avicenna]

Well, Odd, a reasonable person would profile you as the second coming of Hitler. So do you still like profiling?

Where did I ever say I „don’t care that cops are beaten nearly to death“? Show me exactly where. If you can’t, you’re a lying piece of manure. In reality, on Jan. 6, there was violence by and against Cspitol Police, who also waved lots of people into the Capitol. Guess what? That’s a rights violation known as entrapment.

As for your body count of mortalities on that date, it’s funny how you didn’t mention the civilian killed by an incompetent, trigger-happy Capitol Police Lieutenant. Her family is now suing the government over it. IIRC, the policeman you claim was killed by rioters died of a heart attack. If he didn’t, tell me exactly which of the rioters was charged with murder?

But you don’t care about violence against any other cops or Border Patrol, especially by your beloved illegals. Once again, you’re exposed as a fraud.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna you wanting cop beaters out of jail. Duh…?

[Avicenna]

And. oh, you don’t want to get into a discussion about violence by „your people“. We all know how much violence they commit, especially against cops.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna what’s my people? I haven’t said shit about blm rioters getting out of jail have I? Dumb fuck.

[Avicenna]

Well, Odd, if I have „my people“, you have „your people“. Your people include illegals, BLM, Antifa, and whoever else you support, and that’s really any violent leftist.

Since you apparently don’t have a basic civics education, you’re obviously not going to understand that the government can’t violate peoples rights when it makes decisions on prosecuting. It can’t falsely accuse people, deny them their procedural or substantive rights, can’t entrap them or manufacture evidence, can’t withhold exculpatory evidence, can’t torture or abuse people in police custody, and it can’t make up crimes to charge people with. Do you understand that, or do you deny that these rights exist?

[NathanDavis]

they're called escorts

pretty common in some places

[Anonymous]

Yes. Private companies are more efficient than government so they'll handle crime more cheaply at a lower cost to the consumer.

[Juxtapose]

No, mixing profit with a police force is a bad idea.

[noohair]

I am my own police force.

[Agape93]

Nope. Not a fucking chance.
