Societies where there are no clear cut rules about who gets to kill or harm other people exist for a blink of an eye, because self interest overrides everything else from an evolutionary standpoint.

Being more outraged when a cop fucks up and performs a bad shoot, which *almost never happens*, is completely incoherent. If your neighbor decides to rob you, you call the cops. Or ya know, rambo out like a tough guy as if you aren't also a human, just like cops are, just like everyone else is.
Can the civilians withdraw consent to the monopoly if the state uses it unjustly?
