Thought we just dragged bad people out of there homes and threw in front of the justice of the peace for there sentence. As for fires everyone in town grabbed a bucket to help put out the fire of fellow citizens.

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

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 heard the first police force was established to suppress union riots at factories.

You are thinking of the Pinkerton Detective Agency

Wow the symbolism is old. And We're STILL like a mentally crippled people trying to figure out how they work and they've been doing it for multiple millennia.

A "constable" enforced the law along with a MOB RULE. . kinda sounds like that would be much worse

At some point we invented fire as well. People had been doing just fine without fire for hundreds of thousands of years prior to this.

Don't buy in to this new-fangled need for (((fire))).

Police and fire departments are insurance polices for local government. You can't tax what has been burned down.

lol none of you would have survived on any street in the 1800s. Citizens did not maintain order in a lot of places. Some got lucky to get a bad ass in as Sherrif to clean up the streets but most had to put up with a lot of abuse and a lot of murders. A town with 20,000 people back in the 1800s had 3500 murders a year think about that. I dont know where the hell you ever got the impressin it was law and order it was the exact opposite of that. That is how the police force came in.

So every single person in town is murdered within 6 years?

In 19th century Britain the local police were controlled by the Watch Committee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_committee

Before the police were created the city streets of Britain and the USA were patrolled by 'Watchmen' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchman_(law_enforcement)
