The question of the hour for me is: The police were established to protect whom?
In 1838, the city of Boston established the first American police force, followed New York City in 1845, Albany, NY and Chicago in 1851, New Orleans and Cincinnati in 1853, Philadelphia in 1855, and Newark, NJ and Baltimore

In cities more distant from the South than Cincinnati, the number of Southern-born blacks grew steadily during the antebellum years. By 1860, 65 percent of Detroit's African American population had been born in the South. In other Northern cities, too, southern migrants were becoming a more significant proportion of the African-American population. In Boston, almost 30 percent of the city's blacks were migrants, as were more than half in Chicago, almost one-third in Philadelphia, and close to 40 percent in Buffalo. Migration from their Southern homes was not easy, but as the antebellum period wore on, more and more African Americans made the move.
Anybody else notice a relationship here?
Edit: fixed a link.

From the article, it seems that the police was established by Jews to protect their business interests at the expense of the public:
The emerging commercial elites needed a mechanism to insure a stable and orderly work force, a stable and orderly environment for the conduct of business, and the maintenance of what they referred to as the "collective good" (Spitzer and Scull 1977). These mercantile interests also wanted to divest themselves of the cost of protecting their own enterprises, transferring those costs from the private sector to the state.

The only reason antifags aren't getting beaten down in the streets is due to the protection of city police forces.

My point exactly. The police would get involved whiplash fast if citizens formed a phalanx to protect themselves. Since citizens are satisfied for now being victimized, move along nothing to see here.

I'm not sure what you mean. The citizens who historically stepped up to maintain order were conservative family men.
