Hierarchical society is the result of agriculture dividing people into warriors and slaves. We just won't admit that anybody who isn't allowed to carry a weapon is obviously a slave.
alright, sorry. I understand that it's hard to express your beliefs and maybe I was too critical. I think we fundamentally agree on the importance of reducing authoritarianism, and that the incarceration system is mostly awful. I think we disagree about how policing should work

You are advocating abolishing specialized, professional police in favor of charismatic "law chief" figures. I think there are serious problems with that. I hope I haven't misrepresented you further.

I believe that addressing issues of corruption in a specialized professional police force is an easier problem to solve than addressing issues of mob violence and vigilantism in citizens-with-guns amateur policing.

if I was harsh I apologize, but I felt a need to strongly question your premises because I think you intermixed a good sentiment with a dangerous policy prescription.
