@Morghur idk if the baseball bat fella really wants this to be how they spend the afternoon, it's just what tends to happen with low income areas not patrolled by police in the west.
Policing really depends on the broader societal context, for example in kurdish autonomy regions you don't really have police but mediators who act as community authorities. You need some universally agreed medium for delinquency, that can be bourgeois police, peoples police, mediators in anarchist societies etc. but you can't go "let's get rid of le heccin police" and turn a blind eye on the consequences
