Ok, so you want to rewrite the existing legal force framework. Again, good luck with that. Folks who argue this rarely provide a coherent alternative that holds up to scrutiny.

> ‘If a cop can arrest or shoot you, then you should be able to arrest and shoot cops too.’

Let me know when you’ve proposed a coherent legal framework that’s actually consistent with that idea.



Whats incoherent about it? That's it. We just remove all special powers from police. What more do you need?


It’s incoherent if you value rule of law, markets, property, rights, or stability.

If you’re willing to abandon all that over your police grievance, then sure, it’s coherent as anarchy.


Why not? Castle doctrine is already a thing in some states which allows you to shoot anyone including cops if they threaten you on your property and I think its a valid policy.

How does rule of law and property rights suffer? Rule of law will improve if cops are not given special rights. They would think twice before doing anything illegal.
