    Well, to begin with, as you well know, that doesn’t work in practice.

    I trust in the cops suffering consequences somewhat more then I do a lynch mob. The “voluntary association” who resolved what they viewed as “anti-social behavior” from Emmett Till suffered no consequences for their actions.

    Who constrains the police? …

    Already pointed out. Make a point.

      There are far, far more cases of police officers not being held responsible for their atrocities.

      You didn’t point it out at all - you are saying that someone holds the police responsible for their actions. Who does that?

        Which still has a higher percentage of being held accountable then voluntary associations like the Klan did.

        You didn’t point it out at all

        I in fact did. Not going to ask again: Make whatever point you’re trying to make.

          …the Klan is not a voluntary association at all, it’s a white supremacist membership based group which is closed to many. Are you serious?

          I in fact did.

          No, you did not. I think you understand exactly what I’m trying to get at, and you’re just sticking your head in the sand and refusing to engage with it. Thanks for your time, but I see no purpose in continuing this conversation if you are not going to approach it with good faith. All the best.

            Not liking that the klan was a voluntary association that resolved what they viewed to be anti-social behavior (and lets be real, would 100% form again in some form in a anarchist society) doesn’t change that it was one.

            No, you did not

            Yes, I did. I’m going to presume as you lead with that you didn’t bother to make a point and block you at this point.
