      1/ game theoretic argument for police, from someone who is largely anti-cop [ ...as the profession is currently constituted ]: you know that economist argument for why movie theaters have you pay for your ticket at point A but then redeem your ticket at point B?

      2/ (in case you haven't read it before, the point is to make collusion hard / to split a role across two people with different motivations: the ticket SELLER has to prove to the customer that he's taken the money on behalf of the business, and does this by issuing a chit >>

      3/ and the ticket COLLECTOR has a simple job: trade chits for admission. By splitting up the task we avoid the problem of one guy at a gate collecting money AND letting people in (the problem is: he puts the money in his own pocket).

      4/ So, the game theoretic reason to have a professionalized police force is: You want the police who capture and interrogate Ahmaud Arbery to be distinct from the people who just had their houses robbed. Even the best cops aren't perfect, and the actual cops are worse, but >>>

      5/ imagine that policing worked the same way as zoning boards, where the decision makers are the same people who are friends with X and enemies of Y. ...but instead of arming them with the power to issue variances, you arm them with guns.

          6/ There's a reason that the phrase "judge, jury, and executioner" is used to indicate a miscarriage of justice - it reflects a fundamental, ingrained understanding that breaking up the roles cools the passions and prevents certain kinds of self-dealing.

          I see the problem with this. OTOH there's a bunch of brutality cases where if the cops knew the guy was deaf/autistic/epileptic/etc. they might not have battered him bloody for non-compliance.

          The problem here is that the appropriate response to non-violent non-compliance is not necessarily battery.
