Cost of Policing


Vermont proposed a law to apply a tax to those individuals who do not own and maintain a firearm. It is highly unlikely that this law will be passed (due, in part, to protecting religions). What is interesting is one of the justification in support of the law and tax; the cost of a standing police force.

What does it mean when people reclaim their need to protect themselves and their communities from standing militarized police forces? An end to the 'protection racket.'
