I think it's less alarming than the prospect of expanding public police forces to fill those needs. I'm not looking forward to going back to companies deploying Pinkertons on striking workers, but having private companies in the loop might help stem the abuses of the police unions and administrations. I feel safer with an officer whose pay checks are signed by Facebook than one working for SFPD.

Try walking around Hyde Park without either CPD or U of C PD police around. Won't feel safe that way either.

Like that'd magically make them less corrupt?
