I suspect the residents of Ferguson might prefer self-policing at this point. Has anyone asked them? If not why project our beliefs (about whether we would rather have police or not) on them? Now of course this doesn't mean it's actually a practical plan. That's not actually how government works, to allow competing governments it's in midst! Hey feel free to disprove, but I think governments by their very nature, protect the monopoly of force thing. The practical plan short of revolution is reform within the system obviously - yawn, but really.
