LOL. Ah, youth....
I really think it would be beneficial for every citizen to have the right to "opt out" of the system. You could simply sign an affadavit at the courthouse that you want nothing to do with police or military thugs, and away you go, unemcumbered.
Of course, when the criminal breaks into your house in the middle of the night, shoots you in the lung, rapes your wife, and makes off with your big-screen TV, don't call 911, because the dispatcher will say, "I'm sorry, sir, but that address is listed on our non-response roster; the resident there doesn't want police interaction."
As for your military personnel comment, well, all I'll say there is that you would have fit in very well with the youth culture about 1969. You no doubt refer to service personnel as "baby-killers", I would venture.
The world changes; adolescence remains the same in every age, I guess.
We can have an effective police force without beating black people to a pulp.
We can have powerful armies without raping civilians and urinating on corpses.
Just because I enjoy safety from criminals and hostile foreign powers doesn't mean that I have to endorse every single thing every single one of them does.
